Since the wiki say,

> Rejected features may be resubmitted, modified, and moved back to the RFC
process.

, and given most reason appeared on the voting page, I would say the
correct action right now is to improve the reasons listed in the paragraph
on why alternative tagging are not available, and then enter discussion
phase again to see if such similar opinion still surface, and then head
into the voting phase again.
