Changes (by SergeyBiryukov):

 * keywords:  has-patch => has-patch commit
 * milestone:  Future Release => 4.8


Comment:

 * The help text should not really be changed, as [source:tags/4.7.1/src
 /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?marks=215,235,247,248#L215 it's only displayed for
 built-in taxonomies], and I think it should stay that way.
 `is_taxonomy_hierarchical()` is redundant there.
 * I think the existing text for categories should stay, as it explains the
 difference between categories and tags, which is helpful for novice users.
 "Term" is also a less clear concept in some languages than "category" or
 "tag", so the new generic text should only be displayed for custom
 taxonomies.

 Any objections to [attachment:23447.6.diff]?
