The huge problem here is that server plugins can't reliably set their own
tags without risking breaking the server browser completely, as there is a
really low character limit on the tags field - and overflowing it isn't
handled safely at all. SourceMod has natives to set tags for exactly this
reason, but they had to be disabled due to the issues because every plugin
wanted to advertise itself with a tag. Server operators have to set their
own tags, as they're the only one that can know which are the more
important ones to keep when the limit is hit.
