Tag for Ola Hallengren's scripts?

The forum needs a tag for Windows 2019 Server!
The question doesn't make an explicit case for the new tag, beyond continuing the line of existing Windows Server version tags. So, this seems like a good time to look at the utility of the whole ...

There are a number of tags in DBA.SE that I don't fully understand, but which are related either to one or the other RDBMS, as they are part of that specific RDBMS or are common DBA l33t 5p3@k.

Should a newly-created tag be propagated to existing questions?
