It seems that a lot of discussions about arm are coming. What do you think if we add a sub-category Arm to the existing #development cat?
@mark_nl is up to you re-categorize the past discussions

What about using a tag?
The development category is not used so muchā¦ We just removed ātestingā as category
What will happen to other categories when arm arch is released?
IMO binding arm to dev cayegory suggests that arm is something that is only for developers. And adding subcategories everywhere, like dev/arm bug/arm support/arm feature/arm is messy.
Instead using a tag helps to search, find, understand in a much more simple way.
We already have similar use cases: v6, v7, testing
ā¦so just keep on using the arm tag too!
I agree with this. Development arm is a trending topic right now, hopefully not trending as soon as possible.
This being said the tagging method has itās weak points because the tag is not validated i.e you can write what-ever-you-want.; I mean just a few valid tagās one might use to refer to āarmā:
arm, arm32, armv7, aarch32, armv7hl, armhfp, arm64, armv8, aarch64.
I think @alefattorini can give you enough rights to fix the tags also in topics from other people. The ācorrect classificationā issue arises also if you have a complex taxonomy of categories to apply: itās the library science!
For this reason I prefer a flat taxonomy with few categories (thatās easier to use) and tagging. But I might be wrongā¦
As you may have noticed my point is not against ARM, but about how to configure our forum software.
Somewhere in the process Iāve already earned the right to do this. 
Maybe I was not clear, I agree with you being a passionate advocate for flat data(base) models with indexes to order them. Do not try to craft that āwell-craftedā catogorizing system which at the end never seems to fit.
_ but, always but _
We do not offer hints or a learning experience to tag your topic in a appropriate manner. @dnutan does a great job in keeping it tidy! Iād like tagging to be more intuitive.
Moreover iāve just found out how to filter on a tag; AFIAK the only way is to open a post with a appealing tag and then click on it. Please tell me a better way, i mean this I do not know,
Did not cross my mind your point was against ARM

Yes we need people that help to keep the things tidy, like dnutan!
My experience with the bugtracker suggests that a review step is required to make tag and categories consistent.
About differences between tag and categories in this forum software I discovered this old thread
It seems they finally implemented it: go to arm tag!
One little request though, make it blue; Iāll bet myhost.example.com is more appealing to click on vs v7 (which is the most used tag)
Iād prefer it black. They surely already discussed it! ā¦but blue should be possible as CSS can be customized.
Proposal: letās spread the tag usage with the hash syntax. For instance when we write of #arm #activedirectory #accounts-provider #nextcloud ā¦ by using the hash we communicate how to tag too
