I'm adding this back to NUnitV2 as well as 3.0. We'll implement it in
the 2.5.9 release.
Planned changes...
* All NUnit attributes will have the AttributeUsageAttribute Inherited named
parameter set explicitly.
* Attributes intended to provide a unique value will use Inherited=false.
For example, NUnit
can only deal with one description per test, so Description will not be
inheritable.
* Attributes that can have multiple values, like Category, will use
Inherited=true
* Attributes that can be reused with no problem, like Explicit, will use
Inherited=true
* In spite of the above, any attributes for which there is a possible
breaking problem, will use Inherited=false
* NUnit will fetch attributes using GetCustomAttributes(true), which will
retrieve any base class
attributes that have Inherited=true and ignore those with Inherited=false.
(This is a change,
so it's the place where we will see any breaking problems.)

Bug description:
The attribute Category (used for making tests as being in a particular
category) should be inherited. This would allow setting up an abstract base
class for a certain type of test, marking it as [Category("Whatever")], and
having NUnit recognize that every other test that inherits from that class is
also in category "Whatever".
As of 2.5.7.10213, CategoryAttribute is not inherited.
