But we also need to know usability issues so we need that usability tag + we already have the notion of difficulty. It's all about the amount of work to do. Proposing ideas is easy but following them up is hard to the less new concepts introduced the easiest it is. Anyway provided you tag with usability and the difficult level you can also tag with whatever else you want but you should tag at least with difficulty and usability, that's my point since otherwise we'd be dropping what we've already started which is bad and not consistent and then it'll all be a mess.
