I don't think you can, unless you want to do some development and add the
feature. The reason is that some systems in Bricolage remember a category
by id but others (like Template, for example) remember a category by URI.
If you just changed the URI in the Categories table then you'd end up
breaking things that use the URI for lookups.

I recommend you create the new categories, move your assets into the new
categories and then delete the old ones.

Sounds reasonable. Thanks for the help. Can we add
that feature to the TODO list?
