Personally, I feel ambivalent about this. Generally I would recommend 
proceeding with caution in creating tags in Phabricator, which it sounds like 
@Aklapper is already doing. In tools like this, there is generally a tendency 
towards tag-creep (remember BZ?), which on the one hand may not be that big of 
a deal (especially if you think of tags being particularly useful for 
individual teams with a shared semantic understanding/workflow/etc for specific 
tags) but it also introduces noise and confusion to the system.

I certainly do not want to encourage people introducing 'time-bombs' to code - 
from a team practices perspective, I'd rather work with teams to prevent 
'time-bombs' from being introduced in the first place, or encourage a standard 
of code quality for MW and extensions that does not allow for the inclusion of 
'time-bombs'. However, I am imagining this tag being used similarly to 
something like @FIXME in code comments.

Maybe this is a question for the architects ;)
