I don't think there is any technical way to do this. Categories are
supposed to be more or less flexible so that users can create new
ones. However I agree with the basic premise of trying to simplify the
existing list of categories, which has grown far too much and contains
a lot of categories which aren't really useful.

This makes plenty of sense to me.
