Hi all
After thinking about it I think that having [KCP][ENH] would be the best. Note that while cleaning we are also removing bugs. Such as sending a message isMeta to behavior breaks, or other methods calling method only defined in subclasses.
Is it ok for you?

Hi doug
Is there a special tag for the cleaning changeset. In the past I saw [Refactoring], there are simply ENH but in general they do no add anything.
We probably should add an official [REFACTOR] or [REF] or similar tag to the list of tags parsed by the SQFIXES page, since it really is separate from [ENH], [FIX], etc. Also add it to the list on http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/398.
Sometimes a submission will be a combination of [FIX][REFACTOR] or [ENH][REFACTOR], in which case both tags can be used. But some of the Kernel Cleaning Group's submissions will probably just be pure refactorings.
How about [REFACTOR] as the tag? [REFACTORING] feels too long (much longer than the other tags), and [REF] feels kind of short, although [REF] would probably be okay too.
I strongly accociate REF with "reference" ... how about RFC? Uh, strong association, too. FAC? Could do.
Does this sound reasonable to you, Bert?
No problem here, I can add any tags you want ;-)
Still, I would consider refactorings to be enhancements for readability and maintainability, which are crucial qualities in an authoring environment. So I'd prefer posting these with an [ENH] tag. Also I prefer to have as few tags as possible. Cognitive load, you know ;-)
Anyway, if you want me to add anything, just let me know.
