About [time-management]: if it shouldn't be destroyed, it should be limited in scope - currently, it's used for clocks in addition to actual time management. [security] is also a very broad subject, but I think it's an OK tag. I put in a better example. | |
| Mar 10, 2016 at 17:17 | comment | added | fixer1234 | I agree at a macro level, not sure about some specific cases. Re: tools--for some ubiquitous tools, having a tag for a few questions about a specific app may attract fewer knowledgable answerers than a popular generic tag. Re: versions--when there are version-specific issues, yes. Some versions, have little that differentiates answers; the tag is added for completeness and ends up being added to a string of version tags on version-agnostic questions. Re: torching time management--this all started with a suggestion to aggregate some questions under a generic tag like that. Alternative? | |

For instance the initial release version of Windows 10 could not be installed by a previous eligible Windows license key, but Version 1511 can be installed, likewise having separate Windows 10 tags is helpful. I attempted to raise that specific concern, but failed to get traction, so I just dropped it | |
