Tags like [tag:12.04] and [tag:13.04] are being used almost every time even if the question isn't version-specific, and even if the tag description explicitly says:

> You should only use this tag if your question is hardware or version-specific.

**Why is it a problem?** Because the StackOverflow platform requires you to enter at least a tag when creating a question. Many times people just insert their Ubuntu version as the only tag.

This makes filtering questions very hard: I read uninteresting question (e.g. questions that should be tagged [tag:wine]) and miss the interesting ones (e.g. [tag:bash]).

So, what should we do to discourage the improper use of such tags?
