Right, it should be more coherent with the current "premature" stage
of Launchpad in this field. It simply collapses the occurrence of the same problem in two distinct fields, the search-ability of Products and Packages.
Personally (it might be a product of my mind-sickness) I think the "DebTag" solution is very attractive since it can reach natural integration of packages/products/projects by inheritance.
However, I understand it shows up as a huge implementation, but if you start to study another solutions like "categorisation", adopted by SF and FM, you will see that debtags is a lot more sexy from the development point of view.
IMHO, it deserves serious investigation time before implementation, if people get interested, a BOF in next conference would be great. Also, it is very nice to have you "pimping" the idea with me.
Specifically about the multiple/chaotic relationship between the LP entities, it is a big positive effect of implementation, it's a efficient "real world" model, as "let the people play freely" philosophy.
