Hi,

i'm same opinion like Ingo.
It's because if there is an API for categorisation, it must be respected 
  at so many places in core like page modul, list modul, tceforms etc.
That's imho too much work for an extension. If these interfaces are 
present, an extension can make usage of it.
Otherwise we will have extensions again that xclasses half of core to 
achieve proper integration :-)
