Comment (by mmetz):

Replying to [comment:12 mlennert]:
> In the light of this discussion, I would actually rather plead for
v.category not creating any attribute table than changing the contents of
that table. And I would agree that the v.category man page could be more
explicit about some of these issues.

I agree that not creating any attribute table is probably the safest
solution: it will not overload the module and at the same time makes it
more explicit that category values have been changed, thus the old
attribute tables have become meaningless.
