What you describe is indeed how it currently works. For new users or old users who rerun setup, the config file will automatically include the exclusions. Otherwise, users will see no change. > I'm not completely sure that automatically adding the exclusion of the > specified tags via the configuration file for new users is a great > idea. It seems as though it will lead to confusion for someone at some > point. Without any keys pre-bound to add "deleted" or "spam" tags, it probably won't make much difference for new users. And as long as it's documented, users will be warned of the behavior. Reading the config file would also make it clear how the variable changes behavior. jamie.
