Just wondering, if we delete any of the default categories, such as Lounge, Site Feedback, etc., will it break anything? Is there anything in the discourse core that is hard-coded to attach to these pre-defined categories? Thanks in advance for any replies!

Ok to delete default categories?

Deleting them is totally safe, mucking with Lounge permissions is definitely not.
