I think if you have 2 categories all you accomplish is creating a new thing to argue about. You could extend it and allow groups or individuals to create their own 'views', but I guess you still end up with people arguing about what to include in the popular ones.
That's the point. Instead of arguing whether to delete or keep an article, the deletionists can now argue over whether an article should be core or non core, thus very much limiting the damage they do. They WILL argue about something, we can't control that, we can only control what they will argue about.
