global categories

core_menus, blog_categories, cms_categories, core_module_positions, newsletter_campaigns could all be in one table with a lot less code.

Not sure about merging all of those tables.

I was thinking of global categories being global content categories.

So for example you can create a 'Space' category and put all your Space related blog posts, cms pages, products, photos, etc. into the category. Then a site visitor will be able to click on the 'Space' category and be shown all the items that are in that category in a nice friendly page.

But, given the similarity between the various tables you listed, we could merge them somehow. We'll just need to be careful with EVA as it can slow things down (It needs to perform an extra query for each record in the category table)

cms frontpages does not work anymore
