This change should only impact channels, not tags. Not saying we wouldn’t make a separate breaking change for tags at some point, but for the time being, I don’t expect any changes here.

OK, yep. I don’t think there are any current plans to prioritize these kinds of improvements, but these all sound like reasonable suggestions to me for when we do put some attention in this area.
