Public bug reported:

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.
