I partially agree, but just *partially* :) Tagging is just a poor man's
version of classing, since it doesn't let you define the relationship
between tags. True that you can put any task in several projects/tags, the
problem is that the project structure is nevertheless flat:

Which will become cumbersome to navigate for occasional visitors as the
number of projects goes up.


Exactly. If sister projects want to have Phabricator projects, they could

Hundreds of them? :D Last time I checked there were between 1 and 12
sisters projects, depending on whom you ask. But if you meant to create
projects for each language version of each sister project, then I agree
that it would be too much. OTOH, with a proper organization it could be
innovative to manage far-reaching content projects through phabricator ;)

Cheers,
