I have no example for package searching... However it is used a lot in |
| 9 |
multimedia search since it is traditional to give tags to video for |
| 10 |
example. If you want a "funny" example of tags, see tags for animes on |
| 11 |
anidb.net --- this allows users to easily find animes that contains |
| 12 |
element they enjoy to see. |

That being said, I am surprised that having no example showing it works |
| 15 |
should be a deal breaker for trying it out. Wouldn't that mindset kill |
| 16 |
innovation? Personally, I expect it to be not so great at the beginning, |
| 17 |
as the tags chosen will most likely be the most clever ones on the first |
| 18 |
try, and will get more and more useful as the tag convention get better. |

Such a feature could later being used to create applications like *gasp* |
| 21 |
an intuitive GUI interface to portage or for statistical analysis of |
| 22 |
packages... |
