It is difficult to see exactly what changed in the recategorization,
because the changeset includes the whole system as you say.

However, I did see that the Tests package was recategorized into
KernelTests, CollectionTests, NetworkTests, etc., which is a significant
change and seems like a good change.

Just curious, were any methods actually recategorized into mc-based
extension method categories?  (I didn't see any.)  That would be a
bigger change, as it would essentially move the method into a different
package as an extension, even though it's still on the same class.  A
classic example would be moving String>>asUrl from the "converting" to
the "*Network" method category, so that it ends up in the Network
package.  That's more of a real detangling/refactoring than a mere
recategorization.
