previous categories of product are not removed if i remove category in data, instead new categories are added to previous method

previous categories of product are not removed if I remove category in data, instead, new categories are added to the previous method.
i used Add/update method in firegento settings.

In order to replace the categories assignation it is necessary to assign the "replace" behavior

@jruzafa i think is it related to magento/magento2#7930
But the truth is a normal user would not use "replace" behavior since it changes product ids.
Also, we cannot remove categories using "Add/update" behaviour. so that's why this awesome module is unusable for us.
how are other people using it? with "replace" behavior with changing product ids (losing order, statics, metric related data) or "Add/update" behavior with inability to remove categories.

I also use the append always to prevent lose all relations with the product_id in other entities.

The solution we have applied is that before each import the product is removed from the categories to which it no longer belongs.

@jruzafa
ok, do you made some changes at Magento?
or how do you implement that. could you share some more insight?
like did you iterate products and removed categories before
$this->importerModel->processImport($productsArray)
