I'm running R80.40 jumbo 92.
In setting up my client to understand application/site objects and the categories around them, I noticed something weird. At first I thought it was evidence I wasn't deduplicating data properly, but it isn't.

`show application-site-categories` only gives me the one, but `show objects` gives me that one and a different one. The descriptions are slightly different, but both show as `"type" : "application-site-category"`.
So ... uh ... what gives? What's the difference between these? Why don't both show up in `show application-site-categories`?
