For any not following the testers threads, Ryan has posted this over
there, but I don't think it made it to Hackers:

Re: Beware Trunk
"A lot more just went in.  There's still a ways to go, but the new
taxonomy is almost usable.  Note that all of your existing categories
and tags will no longer show up since there isn't any upgrade code
yet.  If someone wants to work on a migrator that migrates the old
tag/cat schema to the new taxonomy schema, the taxonomy API should be
up to the challenge.  Let's bundle it as an importer like we do with
UTW and the cat to tag migrator.  And speaking of UTW and cat2tag,
both of those importers need to be updated.

If you get errors like "Duplicate entry 'x' for key 1", you probably
have an early version of the term_relationships table that had a bad
primary key.  Delete that table and bump $db_version in version.php to
force another upgrade.

Ryan"

So for those of us running trunk that found out this morning that our
categories were gone (but fortunately still have the categories
table), what needs to happen to bring the data from categories into
terms. I'm not sure of the big picture and want to make sure before I
script a solution for my blog.
