Comment (by Clorith):

 Good catch @Otto42, I had of course only tested with new tags coming in
 last so completely missed that!

 [attachment:"5344-limit-topic-creation.2.patch"] takes a more roundabout
 way to reach the same goal, I didn't spot any good core way of preventing
 tag creation, but there's some bbPress filters that could be utilized to
 achieve what was needed here.

 The new topic creation is a bit more involved than previously, I don't
 think we add any secondary taxonomies, but the approach taken futureproofs
 it in case we need to (or actually do already), and shouldn't add any
 noteworthy added overhead with its checks as these are all features that
 are used otherwise in the process so the responses would be in memory for
 the request.
