I'm running Gnats 3.113.1, GnatsWeb 2.9.3 on Linux. I've received a request to change the names of several categories. Is it as simple as I think? I think I can:

1. Stop the queue-pr cron job.

2. Edit the "categories" file, change "oldname" to "newname".

3. Rename the directory from "oldname" to "newname".

4. Restart the queue-pr cron job.

Is it really that simple, or are there gotchas waiting to bite me?
