my first reaction was "awesome!" cause it was getting a bit annoying
to not be able to find my tags...

but then it kinda switched to "doh, that sucks..." how am i supposed
to remember all the tag renaming i've done in the past months?

the only way i was able to notice the bug was that posts whose tags
were renamed didn't show in the tag list but were accounted for in the
"showing all n items" thing.

and now that i've fixed it, i can't even try to find a way to figure
out which tags were buggy (eg using api/posts/all or export).

so what? i'm going to realize in months or years that the reason i can
not find a post is that i had renamed one of its tags back in the days
when it was buggy? will have to remember how we were supposed to fix
it? will have to figure out which tag was buggy and what it had been
renamed to?

if i may, i'd strongly suggest you find a way to detect those and fix
them directly  in the databases rather than expect all users to
understand the pb, somehow find their broken tags, rename them, etc...
