Yes, understood.  However, I will not be using tags for anything other than a 
taxonomy/hierarchy.  If I have 1000 flat tags such as this, does that mean they 
will all show up in the top tag folder?  I don't think this is what I (or users 
in general) want.  Additionally, the year is an attribute that is already 
present... why would I tag with the year?


I would rather do this.
As a starting point, I could use a custom search which filtered on 

- rating (eg. > 4 star)
- exif date range (or year portion of date)
NB: From what I see, date/date taken/date original/file date are not part of 
the saved search filter criteria (yet).  :-)  I'm sure all exif/file data will 
eventually be exposed there.

I could then add a "yearbook" tag (reusable for all years), and create another 
saved search with all 3 parameters. 


That would be good enough for that use case.

BUT... I still like the concept of static playlists though, for things that 
don't fit well into the above mold... such as "things to get printed", 
"slideshow x".  Tags just don't cut it for that.

This sounds like perfect use case for rating.
Then you select tag "2001" + filter rating and you get best of 2001.
