Tags for crashes and freezes

Question

There's a freeze tag, which I think I created, meaning cases when something is not responding. I think that's a useful tag because people use lots of different words to express this situation, so it's otherwise hard to search for.

(Note: I think it's not a meta-tag, because it has a valid, objective meaning. However, I can't see it be used alone — there should be an application or OS tag alongside.)

There's no similar general tag for crashes; do we not need one, or have we not recognized the need for one? Maybe it's enough to just have kernel-panic and segmentation-fault. (Side note: please make a synonym segfault → segmentation-fault.)

There's error, with a single question. That one seems too vague to me. Ban?

Answer 1

I think "crash" is vague enough that it doesn't add much as a tag. Freeze is a little more specific.

I'm not particularly keen on error, without qualifications. It's too early in the morning for me to be having great ideas, but what occurs to me is grub-error or boot-error.
