Don't mix version specific tags with stuff that isn't version specific!
I have anticipated two possible concerns:
Why not add tags instead? … I don't think anyone wants questions that apply to three releases to have version tags, but even if we did generally do that, we couldn't here. …

Can we increase the minimum reputation requirement for creating new tags?
Experienced users can change the bad tags to good tags, given the information provided by the bad tags. Of course there are exceptions to this; some tags are so bad they don't facilitate this. … Sometimes posts are tagged redundantly, with some just-right tags, and some newly created tags that are far too specific, or which really mean the same thing as the just-right tags. …

Tags: is *gnome correct when referring to "the gnome 3 shell"?
By default, Ubuntu uses Unity instead of GNOME Shell. Both are GNOME. The GNOME Shell is the official shell for GNOME--Unity is Ubuntu's alternative shell.

Do we need a tag for every Apple product?
mac-mini is sufficiently different as to warrant its own separate tag, at least going by the tags we've allowed to exist long-term for other manufacturers. … Of course, ipad is totally different from the above, though we might want another question to discuss if ipad and ipod should really be different tags. …

Can I create and maintain a tag to support unity-tweak-tool?

Should tags also used for adding extra information
Both a title and tags are important and should be made so that when someone first reads the body of the post, they have some idea of what it is going to be about. … But all the information in a post should be contained in its body (even if already contained in its title or tags). …

Tag creation request: [hybrid-efi]
Tags are only synonymized once they exist. Tags are created by a question being tagged with it (either originally, or in an edit). A tag is never created without a question. … Users with 300 or higher reputation can create new tags. There are many such users, but this tag has never been created (at least not yet). That suggests we may not need it. …

Why is there a Custom Distributions tag?
The problem with that (now deleted) question wasn't mainly that it was off-topic (which it was), but that:

Do we need separate version specific DE and flavour tags?
Merging Desktop Environment Tags with Ubuntu "Flavor" Tags
As for merging lubuntu and lxde, or xubuntu and xfce, or kde and kubuntu, I'm not as sure this would work out well. … So if these are to be merged, I think the tags denoting the Ubuntu flavor's name (lubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu) should be the master tags. …

These tags are [virtual-]ly the same!
Right now we have separate virtual-console and virtual-terminal tags. One should be made a synonym of the other, but which one should be the master tag? … For me, it's more important that we synonymize the tags than which one we make the master tag. …
