Guys, what for exactly are unused categories of units and infantries?

We have those
AirLift        Air Transport
AirPower Air Combat Support
Transport Transport Vehicle
Support        Miscellaneous Support Vehicle
LRFS Long Range (Indirect) Fire Support
IFV Infantry Fighting Vehicle
AFV Armored Fighting Vehicle
Recon Reconnaisance Vehicle
VIP Important infantry
Soldier        Infantry unit


So, in YR Category=AirLift have BPLN,SPYP, and PDPLANE

Category=AirPower have all of aircraft and vehicle types considered aircraft, even Nighthawk, whose service is air transport actually

Category=Transport have IFV, Flack Track, Hover transports and all civilian cars and vehicles

Category=Support have War Miners, MCVs, Naval units mostly

Category=AFV have all fighting vehicles and tanks

Category=Soldier have all infantry including animals

Category=Civilian have all civilian infantry, plus cow and even fighting ones such Hollywood heroes.
But it is said that Category=Civilian is obsolete in RA2 as there is tag Civilian=yes. its stupid that they disabled one tag, adding new one, and yet again many units have old category.

But those are used categories. My question is why for are those unused ones?
Category=LRFS
Category=IFV
Category=Recon
Category=VIP

Anyone know what happens if you use them, and why for IFV does not have its Category=IFV, and what does mean VIP category for Important infantry?

Category= affects cameo drawing order (for example, Recon appears to always go on top). I didn't notice if it affects anything else.

mevitar, I did not know for this.

According to mod enc http://modenc.renegadeprojects.com/Category category is used for AI targeting purposes.

I checked that in TS rules NOD buggy and bike have recon category.
NOD artillery have Category=LRFS
