That’s true, but note text is immutable unlike element tags. So we’d have to migrate the notes on the backend using pattern matching I guess. The analogy I’d use is that, after editors started using a dedicated `hashtags=*` key on changesets, we didn’t go back and migrate the `#hashtag` syntax in existing changesets from `comment=*` to `hashtags=*`. With the pattern you’ve chosen here, pattern matching wouldn’t be as risky. But if this is really just a temporary stopgap, then in my opinion, we could go with something more cryptic that’s even less likely to match something organic by accident and less likely to make users want localization. Picture the `Co-authored-by:` “field” in Git commit messages, for example. The ugliness would incentivize a more robust solution. 🙂
