The top-level smasher category

In the same way that we don't put someone in both Category:American smashers and Category:New York smashers, why should we automatically put every smasher into Category:Smashers? It's basically a category containing the entire namespace (plus images, those are fine). I propose we delete the auto-inclusion of the top-level smasher category. Toomai Glittershine ???
