In RustCrypto we got a request to add no_std tag to our crates. The crates are already added to the no-std category, so on the first glance it looks like a needless duplication of information. But on the other hand, tags are more visible on crates.io and more familiar to users. A significant number of crates uses the no_std tag (948 crates) instead or in addition to the no-std category (8305 crates), including some high profile crates like serde.

What do you think about such duplication? Should it be encouraged or discouraged?
