  If we make a new panel, we incur the following disadvantages:
  
  1. Lots of extra work, increasing the chance that it won't get done. We already have working code to add it to the Places panel.
  
  2. Assuming we make a new Tags panel, if we don't make it visible by default, almost nobody will ever see it, negating the purpose of adding the feature and keeping the overall Tags feature very un-discoverable.
  
  3. If we *do* make the new Tags panel visible by default, it will compete for vertical space currently used by the Places and Folders panels, and people will probably close it if it's visible by default, and not open it in the first place if it's not.
  
  I know that technically Tags aren't places, but the advantage of putting this in Places is that people will actually see it and use it. If we put it somewhere else, especially in a not-visible-by-default panel, I worry that the work will be essentially wasted.
