Do we want anonymity?
I would burn it, I cant see a professional use of that tag.

Let's patch up the [patch] tag!
This isn't a widely used tag, getting under 120 questions after 12 years. But the confusion in there is clear. I'm fine with weeding it, and sorting what's in there between maybe patch-cable and ...
