Well the blueprint doesn't suggest adding tags to everything. It _does_,
though, add them to more than DSes and Servers. Specifically, it includes

- Delivery Services
- Servers
- Physical Locations
- Origins
- Profiles
- Cache Groups
- Users
- Topologies
- Tenants

Which is a lot. We just made up a list of all the things on which it might
be useful to have tags (I also pitched Roles, but that was deemed to be
adding unnecessary complexity).
If you think it's too much stuff, I have no problem taking them off of
everything except probably servers and Delivery Services.

Just in case it influences you in any way, that list above is in the order
of "most important to have tags" to "least important to have tags", IMO.
