It is relatively clear (to me at least) that followup work will be
needed if this gets deployed and used widely. Computer programs
consuming tags are less tolerant than humans consuming tags and the
idea that operators will fix things via configuration likely does not
scale. But perhaps this is not bad, if the issue comes back to us in
~3 years, we know at least that tags are a useful idea.
