Will submit each suggested tag as its own comment so it can be voted on and discussed separately. Each suggestion has a couple of my own submissions that I wished I could have used the tag for.

Profiling
Things related to cpu/memory profiling tools, telemetry, implementation, and techniques. Use cases, papers on novel methods of profiling, etc…

This has overlap with
testingfor me.could you elaborate on your concern?
I’m not @calvin, but I’d guess they both feel like they cover “we have this running system, how do we understand and improve its properties?”
More broadly, I don’t think it’s that bad to have tags that might have some overlap. Also, I’m not sure that I agree that something like dtrace would make sense in a tag next to xUnit.
Concurrency/Parallelism
Articles relating to concurrent and/or parallel programming and programming paradigms. Shared memory, message passing, actors, map/reduce, whatever…

Submissions relating to garbage collection / reference counting algorithms, implementation, performance tuning, etc… As well as things like rust’s ownership/regions or arena-based management.

I would call this memory-management; garbage collection is just one option.
