Migrating content from old forums

Is it possible via the admin interface of discourse to later convert

  • tags to categories
  • categories to tags
  • or maybe even remove categories?

The last few days there was some talk about this and related decisions being final.

I completely understand those that would like to avoid language-categories mainly to avoid silos (I brought it up myself after all), but the viable alternative (Edit: that I see) - by default auto-translate all topics, at least the titles - is out of reach yet because we neither have the plugin installed, nor does it offer that feature (yet).

So, is there no going back once we got those categories imported, or could they be restructured into tags etc. later if the technical situation changes?
