@MartinSleziak I'd say a good percentage (a quarter, perhaps) of these questions have been deleted, as per Tim Post's suggestion that we clean out the worst of the riffraff (lowest scored HW-tagged questions) while it's still relatively easy to find.
Still a fair number of bumps, but it is sort of unavoidable at this moment.
Users can still use the questions tab to see the newest questions on the site.
 
@ArthurFischer Not sure to which extent it is unavoidable. Questions can still be retagged later from .
In any case, I have stopped doing homework-tag-related retags.
I'll probably join again later, if there are still some (untagged) questions after the removal of the (homework) tag.

@MartinSleziak Unavoidable was probably the wrong term. But certainly users are passionate about doing this now. It'll almost certainly wane throughout the week. IMESHO, after the tag is gone, you'll see a dramatic drop in this effort. (A lot of this work should have been done as questions popped up, but it's menial labour that no-one's interested it.)
@MartinSleziak There will certainly be untagged questions when this is over. I've been trying to go through these, and very few had been touched before I arrived. And I'm not going through them very quickly.
