[Robert Collins <robertc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to cleanup our tags a little - we have 151 official tags. I
don't mean to stop folk using arbitrary tags, just make the set we're
/working with/ a little clearer and crisper: I don't think there is a
lot of value making every single thing have a blessed tags. We should
have tags for broad areas and for current LEPs.

Please either ignore this mail (and I'll act on it next week). Or
reply telling my part of it is a problem so I can revise my proposal
and/or do things differently.

Thanks,
Rob

I'd like add the following official tags (helping to separate things):
branches
codehosting
publish
registry
security
soyuz
stakeholder
translations

(I know there are lp-registry etc unofficial tags; they are pretty
arbitrary because of the big merge; so I'm *not* proposing to use
them).

I'd like to delete the following tags as seeming not carrying enough
use to be *official tags* in the project - they would stay on the
relevant bugs, but not be always shown in the portlet, nor be offered
in typeahead in the bug tags widget.

soyuz-build (replace with soyuz + buildfarm)

unofficial tag)

soyuz-publisher (replace with soyuz + publish)
ubuntu-qa (add stakeholder for reporting, keep ubuntu-qa as unofficial tag)
