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.
