[wp-testers] Change in wp_list_categories?

[Jennifer Hodgdon]

I finally upgraded my WP sites to 2.7 today (I know, a bit late, I've 
been busy), and in one of my sites, I had problems due to a change to 
the wp_list_categories function.

On that site (which isn't a blog but a database of bicycle trails), I 
have one category called "News" (id=1), and then all the other 
categories are children of category "Trails" (id=3). In WP 2.6 and 
previous versions, my sidebar used to say
    wp_list_categories("exclude=3")
and it would list the News category only, excluding the vast hierarchy 
of Trails categories. After upgrading to 2.7, with no changes to the 
theme, it only excluded the top-level Trails category, and left 
everything underneath listed there, which was a mess. I was able to 
fix it by doing
    wp_list_categories("include=1")
so it wasn't a huge deal...

But what I was wondering is, was this change intentional? We should 
probably at least document it, or else (which I think is preferable) 
fix it back to the way it used to be.

Thoughts?
