My point was that it's not just adding these pre-defined lists (#1);
it's also adding tags from agenda files (#2). I think we certainly
don't want to do #2 unconditionally. On the other hand, #1 is probably
okay, but as I said in my last email, I could see not wanting that
either.
Anyway, the patch I proposed (which you've adapted for your latest
round), avoids #2 by guarding the behavior behind the existing
org-complete-tags-always-offer-all-agenda-tags option, and I think
that's a good path forward.

Please spell these two options out: ~org-tag-alist~ and

Same note about avoiding shorthand for the option names.
Also, please rewrite this to make it clear that this is relevant for TAB
in the fast completion interface. It's probably also worth mentioning
that org-complete-tags-always-offer-all-agenda-tags is now honored.
And, very minor, but any reason for the mix of =...= and ~...~ markup
here?

Unlike the patch I sent, you've dropped the condition-case here, which I
don't think was intentional.
Thanks.
