Can we undo the libvirt -> virtualization tag synonym?
You're right, we shouldn't synonymise specific tech to generic terms unless they are they only way of doing that. I don't believe that was the case even back in 2012 when this was first done.
Fixed th …

Tag Synonym Request: [respin] -> [remastersys]

Both "joystick" and "gamepad" describe the hardware format.

What should we do about XBMC's new name?
What should we do? Nothing special.
Use xbmc for XMBC and kodi for Kodi.
People know what they're using (the branding has historically been quite strong)
It'll be a while before XBMC stops existing. …

Tag merge: internet-radio into streaming
No. They're not synonyms. They don't mean the same thing.
I agree they're definitely related (internet-radio is likely a subset of streaming) but I don't think they're close enough to warrant just do …

I need the shell tag, and terminal tag.... please, remove the synonym

Boot related tags, should we synonymize them all?

Merge python with python-2.7
I am fairly strongly against changing the current situation. It allows users to be specific if they mean Python 2 or 3, but also for them to talk generically when the Python version is irrelevant (as …

Should the tags "sync" and "synchronize" be synonymized?
I'm onboard... But which way? sync has 449 posts and synchronize only has 91.
