My first thought is what does "Adult" mean? Is it just erotica, or educational sex as well? What about violence? However, I agree that it would be useful to have a single catch-all category for the really obvious situations. I think it might even reduce censorship, because a distro might feel better about including an adult application.
Just my 2 cents.
