Kaf did, yes.
The debate then was that the tags "got in the way" and that users had to
scroll to the Latest Discussions. That may well have been a valid view
at that time with no other information. It was presumed that users did
not know how to use tags
But the wp.com evidence says otherwise.
Tags need prominence to work.
Otherwise like I said, the rest all has to go.
