I recently cleaned up the “sha-3-competition” tag as it merely hugged 3 questions (1 closed, 1 about Skein but not the competition, and 1 being somewhat related the competition itself). After some back-and-forth in the chat, I reverted my edits… just to find out today that my edits weren’t all that wrong after all. To avoid wasting time and to avoid a reboot of the previous back-and-forth discussion, I’m dropping this into the Meta to see what the community thinks about it…

Long story short: we are now back at two questions… 1 closed and 1 being pretty low quality. The facts that the competition is over and only 1 open question uses that tag, renders the tag is pretty useless from my point of view. Yet, some seem to disagree. So, it’s time to let the community decide.

Does it really make sense to keep the “SHA-3 competition” tag for a single question?
What do you think? Should we keep it or kill it?
