FYI, we also have a separate "tag" chat where we could have lengthy discussions without writing hundreds of comments under each post in Meta, though it's somewhat unpopular right now.
Tags are indeed one of the things we should get (at least reasonably close to) right as early as possible, so I'd love to see everyone's active participation in the discussion of this topic.
Although I agree with @Catija's point somewhat, I still think the tag itself is needed, although maybe we need to make a second pass over the questions that have it and remove it from those whose answers aren't affected by the drone being under 250g, i.e. probably most non-legislation questions
>Make small drones a synonym of sub-250? Yeah, maybe. If I understand correctly how synonyms work, we'll never see the "small-drones" wording ever again after that, and if anyone starts typing in "small", it will suggest sub-250 instead
Aaaand I'm still hoping @Catija or someone else would clarify whether SE has some kind of "restrict tag" functionality so that the tags we just removed couldn't be recreated in the future by some random user.
