As the maintainer of the current hazard proposal - I don't really have strong opinions about signed versus unsigned hazards, though I know others do. However, signed hazards seem to be something that we all agree should be tagged, and this proposal is attempting to approve the collection of usages that we all agree on. I knew going in that the topic was too big to be able to address every possible hazard that someone might want to tag but we have to start somewhere.
So --- consider this proposal a starting point, not the end of the story! There is no reason why hazard tagging can't be expanded from this current base, and since we have free tagging, there is nothing stopping any mapper from either simply inventing their own new hazard tag values or other usages for things not covered, or offering new proposals to expand the usage.
