Those tags can then be used by people who care to filter out packages they don't want to be visible. These tags are to be created and attached to packages by users (including package maintainers as they use the packages too). Tags can be free-form and number of times a tag was selected for a package will be kept. Tags will be separate from the binary rpm files but will be associated with the packages. It's up to depsolver authors to decide if the tags will be used in any way in their programs. It's up to people working on derived distributions/spins to decide how to use the available tags to filter the package set. No mandatory step for adding tags will be imposed for all package maintainers in the Packaging Guidelines. -Toshio
