Hi,
NO... please don't do to!
the old way was ok... why change it?

- not everyone uses ctags... like me, and it can cause trouble, if you 
"make dist" and you have already the tag-file.
Try to remove the file "tags" by any make rule?? "make dist" always 
needs "etags" I don't know for what purpose.

- the ctags of the SuSE distribution is still 3.x (and KDevelop doesn't 
complain about it in the setup... only if you will create tags), so we 
cause another time questions like: I have ctags, but KDevelop always 
gives following error: foo blaa.... .

- to switch between header/source (IIRC goto decl./def., too) works 
without tags for most peoples...
only if you don't have the original structure of the project templates 
that makes headers and sources in the same directory it doesn't work, right?
At least that was my last testings on it.

Please tell your colleagues: If the source and header files are not in 
the same directory it will corrupt some features (e.g. class creation on 
"RFV" , creates header and implementation in the same directory)

So if you want to change this behaviour the project management should be 
changed first.
E.g. selecting first the directories where headers and implementation of 
the project (or sub-projects) will be saved.
