 I don't care about the tag functionality as long as when I create the
 post, I can delineate if the page should be excluded from the navigation
 array in this case wp_list_pages().

 It doesn't matter how you implement it through the code base but, that the
 option is available in the admin panel and you are not manually adding
 every page you want to exclude.
