Re-categorize posts or not?

I want to create a bunch of new categories and move old posts appropriately, but I'm afraid that will mess things up with the SEs and whatnot. So my question is this: Can I do this safely or should I let old posts stay where they are and assign new posts to the proper categories?

You probably should leave things as they lie or as a side, go in and edit the posts and add them to a second category, the new ones you created.
