 > can you weigh in on why you think this UX improvement is worth adding
 extra queries to each page load?

 It doesn't make sense to display only 1 category if every post is in that
 category. One category is no categories, imo. I think it's confusing for
 new users and worse, just plain ugly if that category is uncategorized --
 though I'd feel the same way no matter what that one category was named.
 It's also annoying for users using WordPress as a small CMS for brochure
 sites where they may not be using any categories at all. We do it with
 tags, we should do it with categories.

 +1 for this being in core and available for every theme -- with a new
 template tag. Themes need to be able to make markup for category lists
 conditional on there actually being categories to theme.
