Comment #13 on issue 688 by jussi.ao.malinen: would like to be able to associate metadata with a test case
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=688

I just visited one user site (a rather large one) and they use a system where each team has their own tag. When used with --TagStatExclude/--TagStatInclude it seems to work okay for them. They have lots of tags, but I doubt they rise to hundreds.

Personally I dont have experience from such a big project and possible problems that would arise from using dozens or hundreds of tags.

Has someone here used hundreds of tags as Bryan described? If there are specific reasons why that is cumbersome, I think we should then weight which seems better:

a) to change tags so that they are easier to use in hundreds
b) or to add additional metadata as suggested by Bryan.

But to do that we need some idea why using hundreds of tags does not work or is not easy now.
