I worry about a large number of binary tags without a higher level structure Packaged-in-centos7=true Packaged-in-ubuntu14=true Etc. Thus, some higher level grouping which gives a structure to it. The question would then be how the UI should show the level of packaging at the level one higher up in summary. For the packaging tag, I'm looking for several things - Is it packaged on my current deployment (i.e. can I deploy it) ? - Is it packaged by other distros (i.e. does it have widespread support) ?
