Hello,

Quoting Enrico's email from from july:
---- Begin ----
me and mornfall had a long IRC conversation about changes to the
vocabulary.
[...]
First one: made-of::*
mornfall> in the meantime, the basic changes would be
s/made-of::lang:/implementation-language::/ (or
implemented-in::, not
sure)
enrico> I'd say "implemented-in", as it is what it was :)
So:
made-of::lang:* -> implemented-in::*
---- End ----
So, yes implemented-in:: is the way to go.
debtags tagcat |grep made-of
actually lists no made-of::lang:* tag any more for me.

Yeah, documentation is a weak point...

Agreed, if Enrico could you please change that?
Best regards
