I started using del precisely because my system for hierarchal management did not work. There are categories that are not neatly situated under one and only one parent. There's no easy way to resolve this that didn't devolve into messiness at some level. Then I discovered the concept of tagging, and I was surprised that the idea of organizing by set intersections rather than hierarchy had not yet occurred to me. I think it may be useful many times for specific tags to suggest more general tags that they are a subset of, but this can never be enforced as strictly as a hierarchy.
