Comment (by martinl):

 Replying to [comment:8 isaacullah]:
 > If v.category will not be changed, there at least needs to be a NEW
 module that will update/change cat numbers in BOTH the coor file AND the
 associated table(s). Merging of multiple vector datasets with attribute
 data is currently VERY difficult to do in GRASS with the tools as is. This
 is a BIG turn off for potential users.

 This can be easily implemented in wxGUI using set of existing modules. CLI
 users are usually advanced enough to call {{{v.category}}},
 {{{db.execute}}} separately.
