Comment:

 In fact, I don't really understand why the Count column makes sense at
 all. I see this as a bug: Count should be straightly associated to the
 combination of post_type of the view (i.e., Taxonomies for the given CPT),
 and the number of posts in such post_type with the taxonomy associated.

 Despite this is not hard-coded, logically-wise taxonomy and post-type
 should be almost an index pair.

 From my standpoint, I can't understand what it is the usefulness of the
 "Count" column (specially when there is technically no `posts` view when
 you can just filter by Taxonomy).

 If not agreement is found, I suggest raising this in the next `<dev-
 chat>`. Don't remove `2nd-opinion`/`needs-design-feedback` workflow
 keywords until there is some sort of consensus.
