"Now the other question: would it be reasonable to ask for such feature then? "
It would not :) I think it makes much more sense to explicitly tag things. For instance, think of flickr.com and I tag all pictures in an album "vacation", I don't have the ability to take another album and tag pictures "not vacation" in such a way that the vacation tag doesn't pick them up. Being able to say "don't run these tags" if of course what --skip-tags does, and we can do that.
