Should we use version tags for software?
Some questions, like my own [In Windows 10 21H1, how do I remove the weather report in the task bar?](https://powerusers.codidact.com/posts/281940), are specific to a given version of a product. Other questions are more generic, or apply to products that don't have version numbers per se (web applications would likely be a major such category). In some cases, the OP might not know whether the question applies to a specific version or more generally; in the case of my question, I knew it did because the undesired change happened immediately when upgrading.

Do we want more specific version tags, such as `windows-10-21h1`?

Codidact already supports tag hierarchies, so such a tag can be a subtag of `windows-10`, which in turn could be a subtag of, say, `microsoft-windows`, which would allow tagging a question with the appropriately-scoped tag while still making it easy to find more general questions as well.
