People are using jmdict in many different ways; unless you can perfectly
codify what you are throwing out, my feeling is the more tags the
better. Practically everyone using jmdict as a J-E dictionary uses it
through an app or website; those apps can can filter tags they think
people don't want to see.

Regarding this particular thread, what would be really interesting is to
know: a) in which words 良い is normally written in preference to いい; b)
in which words 良い is sometimes/commonly pronounced "yoi" and not "ii".

P.S. I guess what I want to say both here, and in the idiom thread, is
that if there is even just a bit of signal amongst all the noise, make
sure you rescue the baby before you throw away the bath water.
