Thank you for sharing these resources. One of my first steps on a new project that I'll work with on an extended basis is to add new labels, and delete the ugly default ones I won't use. I've never made time to articulate my frustrations with the default labels, but these articles do a great job of identifying the issues, and proposing practical solutions.
I come from a background in education, and there's so much more to thinking through categorization and labeling systems than many people realize. The way we tag things has a significant impact on how we think about them. An efficient, well-thought-out tagging system leads us to work more efficiently without even knowing it. A technically correct but fundamentally weak tagging system can easily end up hurting the process, by hiding things that we assume would surface when needed.
I'm surprised GitHub hasn't done more with this.
