I do not. I am aware of the fact that this cannot be merged with the
rest of system the way it is. But if there are any bugs I would like to
fix them.

Well, yeah. But the thing is that when you have a system with ~100
packages already installed how is this tagging technique going to work?
In a fresh system I would totally agree with your approach. My way is
more dynamic though.  And you have to admit that it works quite fast as
well. Anyway, it is merely a way of providing extra information for the
packages you are planning to remove. So, until you implement your idea
of tagging packages I will be using this. Whoever is going to use it
though, send feedback whenever appropriate.
