Can we black hole the "errors" tag?

Question

It's worthless, IMO. Can we get it black holed, or at least discuss the possibility?

"errors" seems to be a uniquely useless tag (arguably worse than apache) -- In furtherance of this goal I've updated the tag wiki/excerpt to ask people not to use errors and instead describe the error message in the body of their question. — voretaq7, Commented Nov 2, 2011 at 23:07
Only a handful of questions tagged [errors]. Perhaps retagging those so the tag goes away "voluntarily" would be enough, without blacklisting the tag? — Rebecca Chernoff, Commented Nov 11, 2011 at 6:25
@RebeccaChernoff I think that it's already been manually retagged. It's the kind of tag that people will recreate. — MDMarra, Commented Nov 11, 2011 at 11:30

Agreed - errors and many of its friends (like error-message) need to die...

[ERROR] IS TOTALLY UNHELPFUL
