Then don't worry about the penalty. :D @Andi- just ‘nofollow’ the tag links any anything else you don’t want the search engines to follow. Then don’t worry about the penalty. :D

Pardon me, but you have written down my thoughts exactly. "A while back, I started using my categories as tags. I create new categories on the fly, as seems fit. But I've gradually started to regret that decision. What I really wanted was to have both a category to specify the overall main theme for each post, and a set of tags to aid in searching." So, when I first started using tags, I used UTW to turn the categories into tags. However, now my edit post screen STILL includes upwards of 70 categories. I never deleted them, just in case. Since WP23 now supports tags, there is no need for UTW, and I feel more confident that I don't need as many categories... Care to give me all the steps I should take to not lose any tags while completing this transition? I plan to delete sub-subcategories, and use categories as a GENERAL category (as I believe is intended). I need HELP!! Pardon me, but you have written down my thoughts exactly.

So if one has parent categories, say "Business" and "Fashion", and within each of those has the subcategories of "writers", "events" and "news", does that mean 1/2 of these subcategories need to be renamed? This would seem a rather odd step backward for those heavily relient on categories in their cms. Can someone confirm this?
