Uh, I think the community was mostly upset that you didn't provide any tag management interface. At all. It's been a while, but the last time I looked, there was no way to add tags, remove tags, or modify tags. I think there are still a number of revisions on the English Wikipedia that have been tagged by the AbuseFilter extension with text like "potentially libelous addition" or other incendiary comments of that nature, with no means of removal for false positives. I don't know if it was intentional (and I imagine it wasn't), but your reply about the community's feelings toward whatever infrastructure you're referring to reads like a bit of a slap in the face. The scare quotes didn't help. The tagging system was poorly implemented. That's why it's been under-utilized.
