Omit specific product categories from WooCommerce shortcode

I submitted this question to the WooCommerce devs as well and they’ve officially confirmed it’s not currently possible without modifying the shortcode. I will be submitting a feature request, though, so should anybody else find themselves in need of this, please track down that feature request and give it some props or submit it again on your own. I don’t think the functionality should be difficult for them to include, so I would image it will have a decent likelihood of being adopted for a future release (if it gets enough steam, of course).

I’m not sure exactly what kind of platform they’re using for their feature requests, but I may come back and link it here if it’s like a popularity- or vote-based system.
