I don't think I care about this. Let me explain why. My tags are named 1, 2, 3, Q, W, E, A, S, D. If any tag has a fixed purpose, it's stored in my head, not anywhere in dwm itself. I do have a few rules that assign tags to windows, but those things are very static and I have never changed my choice of tags for them. For the flexibility issue, I use a patch that causes dwm to remember tags when restarting, so I am quite willing to restart it at any time, even for very small changes.
