The idea [1] is that some of those legacy tags might still convey some
data, so one should double-check them before removing them.

To distinguish between "facet-tags" and legacy facetless tags (like
'bbs'), however, one could proceed with a renaming of the facetless tags
into 'legacy::*' first, then removing all the rest.

Or, I might even be fine with just going on and removing all of them:
there is probably not much information left anyway, and the effort of
preserving it might be higher than the effort of readding the same
amount of information.


Ciao,

Enrico
