Looking up free-java-sdk, I see it's already tagged "devel::ide devel::lang:java implemented-in::java". It's not so much the idea of use::developing being added to the vocabulary that worries me - it's the idea of having to go through the 7000-odd packages with devel::* or role::devel-lib tags and decide whether to add a use::developing tag for each one. For instance, if I find a package is already tagged use::editing, does that mean it doesn't need to be tagged use::developing? -- JBR Ankh kak!
