<p>I'm strongly in favor of retaining the homework tag, in pretty much the way we have it now (though I can see some point to making all the links to things stay within CV so they stay relevant).</p>

<p>Edit: on the charge that SO deprecates it, I'd point out that math.SE does <em>not</em>; math.SE is a much closer model for the kind of activity we undertake than SO itself, so I don't think any claim of consistency carries weight.</p>

<p>I think there can be some inconsistency, but that's more a reason to more clearly promote the kind of behavior that's expected - to point out what the tag means for both askers and answerers. </p>

<p>Removing the tag is not doing the students a service!</p>
