We should rename it at the same time.
I think "entry-point" encapsulates the idea, and isn't condescending. Unless someone has a serious objection to it, lets just roll with that.

This would be a bit of a hack, but I think I can just redirect that one URL to the pkgreport.cgi?tag=entry-point. People who still needed to just see the gift tags could use something like pkgreport.cgi?tag=gift;tag=faketag;user=debian-qa@lists.debian.org We can also just make sure that bugs which have the gift tag get the "entry-point" tag too. [And we should probably do the opposite as well.] This would be a bit hacky, but it's totally possible to do in a pretty quick cronjob until at least a release cycle with the new interface. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com He was wrong.
