OK, I was thinking of how to leverage the new opportunities or  
something. My reasoning is that labels on github seem like a  
user-friendly way of categorizing the issues. You see immediately in  
the issue list what the issue relates to, and even get cool statistics  
:)

Another thing is that searching finds only exactly what you search  
for, and false positives too. Think of a label "windows specific" vs.  
trying to skip those issues that don't apply to linux using only the  
search, in how many ways can you write it in text? "only on windows",  
"no problem on linux", "win8 doesn't like this" and so on.

I'm fine with whatever way this goes, and labels can of course be made  
up along the way as needed. But I don't agree on the mistagging, it's  
way more likely that the labels will just be ignored when reporting  
issues. But those are matters of culture and gently beating sense into  
people :)
