I knew we would not be able to ignore all the other places the category is used
:) You are quite right of course Katrin - renewals is another place that we
would have to take into account to make this happen. 

Since there is no desperate need for this patch and the scope is growing to
include all those places we suspected I propose that we leave this in
discussion for the time being. There´s other development that needs to happen,
but if someone would find it highly useful we might pick it up again. I think
the current patch is great for trying out the concept and get a feel of the
proposed change if anyone would want to try the suggested workflow. I still
think the idea is worthwhile, but the development cost is currently looking to
high for us compared to the payoff.
