In the mean time I would strongly recommend using our API here. That way you define it once, then loop through the categories and update it. Can be a huge timesaver if you have 1 template that has to be applied to 30 categories.

I am not strongly against this, but I feel like adding this to core would add a fair amount of complexity.
