I like the tag idea.
I don't like tag as described above.
I feel having tags organized in hierarchical way is inappropriate.
that just makes another organization of packages in categories.

tags <-> packages is a many-to-many relation.



btw, if the DESCRIPTION field is well written, it functions as a tag.
e.g.:

$ eix -c -S dockapp -S net
[N] x11-plugins/allin1 (--): All in one monitoring dockapp: RAM, CPU,
Net, Power, df, seti
[N] x11-plugins/wmifinfo (0.09): a dockapp for monitoring network
interfaces.
[N] x11-plugins/wminet (3.0.0): dockapp for monitoring internet
connections to and from your computer.
[N] x11-plugins/wmitime (0.3): Overglorified clock dockapp w/time,
date, and internet time
[N] x11-plugins/wmnd (0.4.11-r1): WindowMaker Network Devices (dockapp)
[N] x11-plugins/wmnetload (1.3-r2): Network interface monitor dockapp
[N] x11-plugins/wmwifi (0.6): wireless network interface monitor dockapp
Found 7 matches.

although DESCRIPTION doesn't contain "obvious" tags.
perhaps it's worth the addition of a TAGS field (?) that has to be
searched just like DESCRIPTION


just my 2E-2
