Status in lazr.config: Fix Released

Bug description:
getByCategory() raises a NoCatetoryError when no sections exist for the category.  This tends to be inconvenient to use because you have to import an exception class at catch the error should you, say want to return an empty list.  getByCategory() could take and optional default argument to return in that case, raising the error if no default is given.
