This seems to be always the stock reply when these kind of questions 
arise. I mean, sure, I know MBz isn't just the tagger, but it's a big 
part of it. However, during the 3 years I have been around, tagger has 
always gotten the shorter straw. There never seem to be compromises, 
tagger always gets shafted in favour of whatever brandspanking new 
feature someone comes up with that helps the database in whatever way. I 
can't actually point any specific examples (haha, this mail just lost a 
little weight) but we all know it's true.

I'm not saying that it's wrong to put database first, but give us heavy 
taggers a break once in a while.
