In my opinion, stuff should be there where the user would expect it
according to its functionality, not according to package boundaries.

I am opposed.  "tumme-tag-delete" sounds like it would delete tagged
files, not like it would remove tags from files.  "delete" sounds more
appropriate with more physical entities than just tags.  You can,
after "deleting" a tag, put it right on afterwards again.
