I imagine that this change broke quite a few Hyperlinks...

Nah, only if someone had links to the old canned theme-search queries, which
looked frighteningly dubious and not very link-friendly before:

   http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,%7BEpisode+I%7D
   http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,%7BEpisode+IV%7D
   http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,%7BEpisode+V%7D
   http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,%7BEpisode+VI%7D

A side-effect of getting rid of the {}'s is that the new URLs for those DB
queries are slightly more human-friendly:

   http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,Episode+I
   http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,Classic

although I wouldn't say they're link-friendly just yet (more on that in a
couple days).

If someone had bookmarks on the old queries, I apologize for any inconveninece
caused by the renaming of the subcategories.

Nope, no bookmarks, I was creating the links in my perl script
(hey, doesn't everyone have a sets-to-html-script? ;-) ), so the
human-friendly part was a little lost on me ;-)

(...) No, the changes weren't announced. It's just one of many everyday cleanup or maintenance efforts in the set DB.
