[wp-hackers] Single Category Store across Sites on Multisite?

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

The main problem with the global terms is that every blog has to have it's
own taxonomy tables, you can't just redirect all taxonomy tables to a
central one, as you end up with duplicate post ID's in the relational table.

You could possible set $wpdb->term_table to always point to a central
listing.. with each blog having their own taxonomy and relationship
tables..
But i'm mainly thinking out loud here, I'll leave it with "It's really not
the most ideal thing to want to do at the present time"
