What we will have to disagree on is the appropriateness of my use of no synonym in this case; I am quite happy with this decision. | |

| Apr 13, 2022 at 8:24 | comment | added | andrew.46 Mod | @muru Thanks for your thoughts. I will be watching both of the older tags for some time; both currently with zero posts attached. And certainly if the community starts resurrecting either I will place the synonym. | |

At any rate, IMO video-driver should be added as a synonym since people did actually use it, so that name might be more intuitive to a significant fraction of users.

@andrew.46 note that even though the system doesn't alter the tagging of existing questions, (a) you can no longer add the synonmized tag to new posts, (b) any exists posts, when edited, will get the tag replaced with the master, and (c) users can type either video or gpu to get a tag suggestion that ultimately leads to gpu-driver as the tag. I think "merge without synonyms" is only useful for cases where an existing tag needs to be repurposed for something but first you want to move the current posts to another tag. For all normal cases, merging with synonyms is what we should do.
