Blacklist the ubuntu-desktop tag?

Question

Is it possible to blacklist that tag? I don't see it go away without a little extra help.

ignore the bump, just trying to remove cruft from this list

The ubuntu tag would also need to be blacklisted, because it redirects to ubuntu-desktop

why does the [ubuntu] tag even exist? These both need to be removed -- and I have done so.

@JeffAtwood - migrations from the trilogy and people with a poor understanding of the scope of this site :)

@marco ah yes, we are improving migrations to deal with better tag handling including stuff like "don't add a blacklisted tag to a site" .. I have added ^ubuntu(-desktop)?$ to the regex tag blacklist here to assist.

Does it really need to be blacklisted?

I have deleted ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu for now.

edit: this was also blacklisted as ^ubuntu(-desktop)?$

No, probably not. It's not all that helpful though as far as I can determine.
