We do provide tag definitions. They're linked from the Project Navigator 
(e.g. 
https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/stable-branches.html). 
These provide pretty thorough definitions, and in some cases examples. I 
like the idea of having additional examples per project and that's 
something we could easily put into the Project Navigator.

One could probably make this inference based around user survey data + 
which tags are used in the more vs. less popular projects. Right now, 
it's not something we track, but it's an interesting point. I'll spend 
some time looking at it :)

It's a good point. So far the biggest carrot is to make sure your 
project stats look as up to date as other mature and well adopted 
projects. To date, it seems to have had a positive impact in getting 
projects to keep their tags updated and/or figure out what they need to 
do to get the tag.
