@Zanna Well, that's not your fault. If it was someone to blame that would be me, due to the way I wrote the post perhaps. But I don't think that this is the reason. In my opinion, the reason is that it is a tag that isn't used frequently and its removal/synonimizing/whatever won't have huge impact in the site. So most people don't have a strong opinion about it.
Also the recent drop in the number of people that are involved in the site's moderation (see the numbers in the review queues) could be (in my opinion is) related.
