Given my cynical nature, I have to ask, are the bug tags really helping 
with focusing triage by sub-teams?  Or are we somehow pulling or 
planning to pull this info into some analysis, like, 'we have a lot of 
bugs in component x, use case y, so we need to refactor and/or beef up 
testing there'.  Otherwise I feel like we're just adding more official 
tags that very few people will be aware of or care about.
