Not just a core function, but also an ideal tool to structure your data. There's definitely some merit to them and I wouldn't do away with them completely - dependent on the type of franchise of course but things like "Characters" or "Episodes" are still important to navigation and taxonomy.

You can definitely bar the creation of some specific categories with the AbuseFilter. If you need to empty out larger categories, MassEdit can be a huge help.
