I can only agree with this if default spacing is part of the brush. If that is the case, then yes, it would be great. However, I see little point in differentiating between brush presets and tool presets in general. Having a dock for listing tool presets and tagging them just like any other resource would make things a lot easier in a uniform way for ALL tools.

in my mind, we could do it like this:
Ive also thought of this.
We make a "brush" be just a bitmap/svg/whatever (possibly also an
animation). Note that a brush would not even have a spacing as the
current GIMP gbr brushes.

A "brush preset" is a brush + dynamics, and this is actually what the
user typically picks. If we would have tags for brush presets, we would
be one step closer to make brush options be part of the brush, so to speak.
