Duplicate tag [vms] and [openvms]
It should be synonymed the other way around. The product was originally VMS and then it became OpenVMS which I believe it is still called. Other than that I don't see any real reason not to do this.

Merge [tag:hacking] into [tag:security]
I'm not convinced this should be done. Security is quite a broad topic, and "hacking" is clearly only a narrow subset.
This will also potentially inconvenience the 30 people who are following this ...

Are these essentially the same tags?
I wouldn't. Even when Office 365 contains Exchange Online, Exchange Online could be subscribed as a standalone service which don't necessarily have the Office Suite apps.
