 * Thank you for implementing this handy tool.
 * I’m using it to convert posts with category=X into posts with post_type=X. In
   this case, it would be nice to remove the category association during the process
   since the new post type doesn’t support categories.
 * What happens instead is the category association remains in the database but 
   is invisible to the admin UI since my post type doesn’t support categories.
