Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 mmetz]:
 > option=del deletes all categories with the value set with the cat
 option. The cat option is by default set to 1, thus only categories with
 value 1 will be deleted, as happened in the example:

 Ahhh. This slipped my mind as cat option only accepts single integer and
 no ranges or lists of categories. Opened a new bug for it: #2094

 Closing as issue is fixed, still I would vote for not having cat=1 as
 default for "delete" action as it endangers 1st cat to accidental
 deletion. (Read - why 1st is more special than others? If user forgot to
 specify cat, let's punish him by nuking 1st cat :P )
