Category management can be dropped altogether (beside what we still  
might need for migration) because categories are being replaced by tags.

I think the Identity should stay in Prefs because it might be useful  
for non-Horde code too. It could be turned into a more flexible  
preference-grouping class though, so that any prefs can easily be  
added to an identity, allowing multiple values for those preferences.  
This was the original idea behind Identities anyway.

Are you talking about the credentials preference? This is not  
obsolete, the idea is that people can store credentials in their Horde  
preferences for apps that require authentication. Users only have to  
login once to Horde and are authenticated at the apps automatically,  
even if those don't use hordeauth.

Great, I wanted this for ages. Everything else sounds pretty awesome too!
