Hello Barrie.
We currently do not have much support for dragging or copy-pasting 
categories in the tree.  However, this sounds like a good idea that we 
should discuss. Dragging and prompting for a variability type would 
certainly be an excellent improvement for plugin authors that want to extend 
an existing plugin to "plug in" their categories.  We are discussing in our 
team at the moment what kind of refactoring and copy we want to support in 
the next release.  So the timing is great.  Could you write some more 
scenarios for what you have in mind?

Peter.
