Comment (by nikolov.tmw):

 I'm wondering if the category level visual clue should exist or not in the
 first place.

 I feel it might create confusion for the users in the sense that it might
 seem as if a certain category is a child of another category while that's
 not the case.

 Also imagine what's going to happen if a plugin/theme developer forced the
 default landing page to show terms ordered by a certain criteria(maybe it
 makes more sense for a content editor to see the categories ordered by
 name instead of by ID). Out of a sudden the terms will show hierarchy
 which most likely doesn't match the actual hierarchy.
