-1 from me, too. Users coming from Joomla and the like would refer to:

taxonomy -> categories
vocabulary -> section
term -> category

The intro text on admin/content/taxonomy already provides a sufficient
terminology:

"The taxonomy module allows you to classify content into categories and
subcategories; [...]"

If I got all of you right, I think we could go with:

taxonomy -> categories
term -> category

However, it seems like no one has a really good idea how the 'thing holding
multiple categories' (vocabulary) might be called in a way all users can
relate to immediately.
