Comment (by F J Kaiser):

 Replying to [comment:95 sil.linguist]:
 > Someone above mentioned that it is highly unlikely that a single
 taxonomy will have more than 1000 terms. I have a use case where I have a
 taxonomy with over 7000 terms.

 > Has anyone on the list here attempted a typology of use caes? Would such
 a discussion possibly bring us to a point where consensus could be
 achieved?

 Just add one pretty common use case: Locations. In some installations I
 built, I got locations as hierarchical taxonomy - Country/State/District.
 There're currently (depending on the definition of state) ~196 countries
 in the world. You can guess the number of states and districts.
