I think a synonym could cause confusion based on the fact httpd can refer to Apache and the BusyBox daemon. Synonyms should reflect a 1:1 relationship between tags.

Some readers scanning the main page looking for questions of interest wouldn't see the tag they're familiar with if they're synonyms. It might reduce answers for one tag. About 60% of the [httpd] questions are double-tagged with [apache-http-server], but that still leaves about 45 questions that aren't. Might the community be best served by keeping the tags separate? Just asking since this is out of my area. | |
