Agreed.  A "does-not-apply" tag would be helpful.  This tag would be
explicitly applied, either by the QA mechanism or a reviewer.

Assuming there aren't any objections to these tags, what are the next
steps?  If my understanding of Debbugs Usertags is correct it seems we
can simply start using them?  Though noting the above in the manual
would be helpful.  However, that still leaves open the issue of how the
automated setting of tags is accomplished.

Thoughts?
