We need to be able to extend the standard Joomla category information, but it seems like it is not possible without hacking the core.
Is this something that is in the pipeline?

This is possible as is.
1. Follow Adding_custom_fields_to_core_components_using_a_plugin
2. For categories it's even easier in your own custom component. You just add a file category.xml and this is added to the form. (I've used this myself)
3. I do not know if categories are included in the planned extra fields functionality. You can read more here
