These are the arguments I have heard against "fixing" it. =20

- If you change it such that null means default, then what means don't care=
?
- If you're tiering storage, why wouldn't you tier the default storage?

It somewhat makes sense.  The only real problem I've seen so far is Wido's =
case where there's no way to change the system offering's tags and system v=
ms got put to premium storages but basically in this case system offering w=
ith no tags meant default tag instead of don't care tag.   That's a contrad=
iction to the usage to tags so it's a problem with initialization of tags.
