Should the [osx] tag be renamed to [macos]?
Only the newer versions will be called macOS, the older ones will still be called OS X Cat-of-choice. I would propose to go with a synonom instead of a renaming.

M1 tag versus Apple Silicon tag
Why do we even need an M1 tag to begin with?
The M1 is just the name of this particular chip - it's like saying "i7" or "i5" and we don't have tags for these. We don't even have a ...

Rename [terminal] to [terminal.app] to make it clear the tag is for the macOS app
I agree with this proposal. 'Terminal.app' makes it clear that it is the app and no the general subject of command line or terminal questions. A synonym defeats this, but renaming the tag should work. ...

Why is there an independent ios-13 tag while ios-11 and ios-12 tags are mapped to the generic ios tag?
People insist on making tags for new OS so we generally merge things down once the newness dies down. There’s little to no point to having every release have it’s own tag.
There are great reasons to ...

On Ask Different, freebsd is a synonym of unix
