Yeah, but tags are limited by A. how many times a user can use a tag (I think it's ... 500?) and B. how many tags each user can have (1000 free, 1500 paid, 2000 premium).
This isn't like tagging, exactly, not to my mind. That's outside of a journal, in a meta-space sort of area. From how I'm reading the suggestion, it would be affecting each entry. Say I used this $series-code and I've used it on 20 entries. But now I decide, drat, I need to insert a post between entry 15 and 16 - the series code has to rearrange itself, change the other posts. More heavily, every time I add a new post at the end, it has to recode all the entries so it's correct on which one is now "last". The little sprites that live in the databases would be hopping all over to change links all the time.
