If I want to affect the feature set of the probe, I would do so by using
communication channels that are already in place, e.g., that we are
using now with this mailing list.

I view the probes' tags as a way to announce what the capability of the
probe is, and not what I want the capability of the probe to be. I feel
that the reduction of the usefulness of the probes' tags to something
akin to facebook's "likes" is a diversion of purpose.

If you want to have some manner of voting, then do so via your account
on the RIPE website. I have to log in to the account to change the tags
on my probe, why not just put a voting option on the website? I see no
need, and I have no desire, to display my vote among the public data on
my probe.
