That all seems pretty reasonable to me. Don't forget custom tags don't have to live in the custom tags folder, you could reference a tag from a given page as cf_thefilenamehere if the custom tag and the file are in the same folder - or use a cfmodule call to a tag located in a folder under your site.

Subject: [ cf-dev ] CustomTags
Not having used the CustomTags directory in a gazillion years, I've done
a couple of quick tests and was surprised with the results -- can anyone
please confirm the following?
With the "C:\CFusionMX\CustomTags" directory as the only entry in the CF
Administrator's Custom Tag Paths list:
you can call a file in the Custom Tags folder with this syntax
<CF_TheFileNameHere...>
you can't call it with
<cfinclude template="TheFileNameHere.cfm"...>
you also can't call it with
<cfmodule template="TheFileNameHere.cfm"...>
you can't do
<cfset oX = createObject("component", "TheFileNameHere")>
If you create a CF Mapping of "CustomTags" that points to that folder,
you can do
<cfmodule template="/CustomTags/TheFileNameHere.cfm"...>
but can't do
<cfset oX = createObject("component", "CustomTags.TheFileNameHere")>
Is that about the size of it? Thanks.
