 > Theme tags also need to be added to core. We cannot do it unilaterally
 from the wordpress.org side of things.
 Core does fetch the list of tags from WordPress.org (and we version-gate
 tag changes), and only falls back to an internal list in the event the API
 is unavailable.

 WordPress.org should be updated before WordPress is updated, it's often
 that WordPress.org/themes will have support for a month or more before
 WordPress itself does, to allow time for themes to be tagged with the new
 labels. It can be done in the reverse, but it's not as friendly as end-
 users then get mostly empty filters :)

 > I think `align-wide` is not very user friendly. Something like `full-
 width` would be more accurate.

 `full-width` is a little clashy with the existing `full-width-template`
 tag, but I agree that 'Wide Align' isn't very self-explanatory.

 As an aside, for the full list of previously-supported tags, that's all
 helpfully in the API here:
 https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/plugins/theme-directory/class-themes-api.php#L174

 ----

 What's needed to move this forward:
  - The category to put these tags under - I'd assume: `Features` for
 `block-styles` and `Layout` for `align-wide`
  - A Short description (one or two words maximum) that explains what the
 end-user is selecting.

 While I don't love the tag names, they're not as important as the name
 that the end-user see's,
