How about assuming good intent and making suggestions on how to improve 
thing rather than starting by slagging off the people that are doing all 
the hard work to try and improve things?

It's pretty much impossible to tell in advance what the impact of any 
given change will be on every possible combination of tags that may have 
been used somewhere on earth.

Sure, it would be lovely to have a test server where changes could be 
tried before putting them live. We don't have infinite resources though.
