The big advantage of the pseudo tags is that each maintainer can define his own. For instance, Branden uses such pseudo tags to classify the bugs on xserver, others might use such pseudo tags for other things. I guess all these can use the new search features, too. In some cases (and i18n might be such a case) it might make sense to move a pseudo tag to a real tag - in others (when the pseudo tags are purely package-specific) it doesn't make sense. cheers -- vbi -- featured link: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/subkeys
