I posted a question today about ReactOS, and discovered there's no tag for it yet. I did a search, but only a couple pages of results came up for ReactOS so it's not a popular topic at this point in time. 

When it comes to tag creation there seems to be 2 approaches: 

1. Unless there are lots of questions don't worry about it, because we can manually retro-actively apply them if a need for the tag creation ever arises.

2. Create it, it helps recruit experts, and saves work down the road; it's not like we can't just delete it later.

I understand the logic of both, they both have their merits, and I think they apply best to different types of tags. For example if you go with option one and create a tag for everything that ever gets asked about, things become too spread out, and the tags become useless. However if you always go with option 2 it creates extra work, and prevents addition of potentially useful tags.

In this case we're talking about an operating system tag, and not even a specific release of the operating system, just a generic tag. Tags for every OS under the sun aren't needed, case and point being the [tag:Linux] and [tag:Windows] which work generically to prevent tags for every obscure possibility. However ReactOS doesn't fit into those categories so I think it deserves a tag, even if there are very few questions for it at the moment.

If you read this post, and don't weigh in, somewhere in the world a puppy dies. :(
