I have always wondered: Is there some way I can tag a face as "Unknown<br>
person"? As in "yes, that is a face but I don't know who that is".<br>
Removing the face-tag is not ideal (for example it will reappear on a<br>
full rescan) and naively tagging it as "Stranger" will throw off the<br>
recognition algorithm.<br>
