We would assume everything to be tagged according to the new definition and if it doesn’t fit it should be corrected, and people could be referred to the wiki ;-) On the other hand I agree it is a hard step, and transitioning via a new tag would be more sane / cause few problems. Paul mentioned Linux Kernel changes but it isn’t really comparable, because the Kernel is not something depending on the user actions/adoption, it is decided top down and the users ideally will not even notice changes. Changing a tag definition is more like changing the interpretation of a code word in legislation, e.g. the meaning of “must” or “should” (simple examples, excuse my ignorance of english legislation, but I hope you understand what I try to say). This is AFAIK never done, because nobody can oversee all the consequences for all legal texts.
