I took a quick peek on my site and the only place I see it called "Categories" is on the menu label and the title of this page: ?=admin/content/taxonomy . Note the URL to that page. Seems to me like the overall system is "Taxonomy" with a half attempt to change it to "Categories" that failed. What's wrong with rolling it back while >we think about what best to call it in 7?

"Categories" is only used in about three places at the moment, and as Michelle points out users are instantly exposed to the word taxonomy as soon as they click on the menu link, let alone taxonomy/term/n and admin/help/taxonomy which still has pre-Categories text in it. It'd be great to direct some of the energy being expended on this thread towards improving the help texts and documentation which currently don't apply consistently to either pre-5.x or 6.x versions of the module. The patch to roll it back is 1.34kb[1]. This will increase in size with some help text changes but it's still quite a trivial process. If alternative names are found, we'll still need an upgrade path for the more than 2 million urls currently on the internet[2] that use it, along with an api change across two core modules and over 60 in contrib if it's going to be a consistent change.

Avoid use of "Taxonomy" in the UI. The overall system, despite the module name, is "Categories."
