Not a very good idea, because apt and the checksum apps don't like that at 
all.
Let's just do the re-categorization step by step -- change it when we're 
changing something in the package anyway (and people will have to download 
the updated package anyway).

Since we'll be updating to gcc 3.4 soonish (it entered deep freeze ("open 
for bug fixes for regressions only") 2 weeks ago), we'll have to rebuild 
pretty much every package soon anyway.

No reason not to start recategorizing packages right away though -- we 
should discuss the right categories as soon as possible.
