 * I initially reported this against core here:[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39402](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39402),
   but I think this is a responsibility of this plugin.
 * Basically, if you have posts segmented into categories and decide to switch specific
   categories into new post types which don’t support categories, you end up with“
   orphaned” term relationships. This plugin should check at the time of conversion
   if the new post type supports the taxonomies from the current post type, and 
   remove them if not.
 * I could do it if you let me know how to contribute.
