Why is there a Dell-r710 tag and not others?
This can be asked in many ways, but why is there a specific dell-r710 while there aren't for r200, r610, r620... etc etc?

Isn't poweredge enough?

Can the tags x and x11 be merged?
x has 42 questions
x11 has 60 questions
Interestingly, just today someone added a tag wiki for x11; my personal thought would have been that x should be used despite it having fewer questions.

pci-express has a description, and pcie doesn't, it seems like pcie should be merged into pci-express. Unless there's some difference between those two phrases that I'm not aware of.
