Yes, I've seen some comments by other people reguarding the categories and different ways to approach those. However, I think if the two-level approach is used in promoting stories to the frontpage it would increase the value of the categorie pages instantly. They would then be the pool of stories to select from to promote to the front page. There are lots of stories worthy of a category placement that may not be worth putting on the front page. This would keep the front page dedicated for the best and most worthy stories. The fact that there are RSS feeds for practically every page on digg would also still keep the individual category pages useful to those of us with RSS readers. As they are right now they are little more than slower rolling collections of front page posts and not too useful in my opinion. Thanks for the positive feedback!
