Yes, maybe it's better not to add "adj-no" as a POS, and better to change the adjective "late-stage" 
to the noun form "late stage".
.
I agree about "third trimester" and I think "second semester" could be added too.
.
One dictionary has:
the latter ［second］ half year; 《米国》 the second semester （2学期制の学校の）

I guess it's usually 前期　中期　後期 so "last trimester" fits in 
just based on that. "late (childhood, etc.)" is an adjective 
gloss though..?

> it's a pretty useless exception unless we allow other kanwa-type entries that would normally combine with it, such as 来-.
I don't agree with that. Single-kanji country abbreviations often appear on their own (e.g. in headlines) so it's useful to have them searchable.
Presumably that's why several of them are in the kokugos as regular (non-kanwa) entries. But whereas the kokugos only have a select few, we've decided to include *all* of the commonly used ones. In that sense, we're not really making an exception; we're just being consistent where the kokugos are not.

Right, but Jim--who agreed with you on the other 伯 thread--is the one who suggested that this be added.  So it seems wrong to suggest that there is an agreed upon current policy.

If 伯 (etc.) is actually a kanwa-type entry and we are "making an exception for it", it's a pretty useless exception unless we allow other kanwa-type entries that would normally combine with it, such as 来-.

This has already been discussed on at least two entries so I don't really want to repeat myself, but we're making an exception for country names. That appears to be the current policy. See 2248580 and 2836257 for the reasoning.
We haven't decided to turn jmdict into a kanwa dictionary. That would be a *major* policy change.

There are currently 19 entries with the "proverb" tag, of which about half end with a verb. None have verb PoS tags. As I said earlier, I don't mind having them, but it's not a big issue, and prefer to be consistent.

isn't this somewhat different from English usage though? You 
can stitch together sentences in English with an "and", but 
in Japanese, you might use the -て form not to change the 
tense or mood but to add another sentence/clause. I mean, 
again, there are actual examples of this precise usage: "より
強い者（身分の高い者）が弱い者を虐げるが、上には上があって、その搾取と虐げの
構造がピラミッド状に続いている、というのです。"
http://www1a.biglobe.ne.jp/fujigaoka-
church/biblestudy/ecclesia5.7.19.html
It seems like a (small) waste to not pick up on that (for 
browser plugins like "rikaichan" etc.)

While I am quite relaxed about having a verb-ending proverb tagged with the verb class, I can see Rene's point. We can say " stitch in time saved nine" in an appropriate circumstance, but we'd never decalre it to be something that is usually conjugated.
I think it's safest and cleanest to drop the verb type.

Not sure why conjugating a proverb would make it less of a 
proverb. 
proverb - 
"a short pithy saying in general use, stating a general 
truth or piece of advice."
"a short, memorable, and often highly condensed saying 
embodying, esp with bold imagery, some commonplace fact or 
experience"
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/proverb
the imagery is still the same, the commonplace fact/piece of 
advice is the same, the proverb is still recognizable.

Should this be [ichi1]?
