Comment:

 The actual querying of the ids is done via get_terms() anyway:

 {{{
 $cat_ids = get_terms( 'category', array('fields' => 'ids', 'get' => 'all')
 );
 }}}

 The only benefit of get_all_category_ids() is that it caches the ids.
 However, that cache doesn't seem to be invalidated anywhere, so it's
 buggy.

 Therefore, I say we deprecate it.
