Exactly.  And I said
1) define "suite" (this is where we started)
2) the cut-off point should be higher.
Indeed, by rejecting my random-sample suite::abiword you've
demonstrated that you agree with me that we *shouldn't* have tags
for self-proclaied "suites" with slightly over five members.

Maybe.  Would we want them tagged "suite::kde suite::koffice" or
"suite::kde:office"?

Ah, it's webdeveloper jargon; it would never have occurred to me to
call these a "suite".  You can't expect me to be any help tagging
the right things (would every single package tagged suite::apache
also be in suite::lamp?  How about all the linux-source packages?),
so what's your plan for getting all the appropriate packages tagged?
