Currently, the Vocabulary module only allows you to apply a vocabulary to no nodes or to selected nodes. There is no way to automatically apply it to all nodes. This makes creating new content types more difficult, especially when modules like CCK ease the creation of new content types.

Aren: can you clarify what you're talking about?

No nodes or selected nodes: do you mean node types?

Vocabulary module: do you mean taxonomy module?

Title: Vocabulary should allow itself to be applied to all node types » Vocabulary should allow itself to be applied to all content types

Sorry, I meant content types. In D6, you specify the content types to which a vocabulary applies in the Content types section of admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/vocabularyId.

In D7, admin/structure/taxonomy/vocabularyId/edit has no place to select which content types use a given taxonomy, but I think it's now a term reference field of a content item? If so, looks like that if I want a taxonomy that applies to all content types, I now have to modify every content type?

Yes. This is correct. The taxonomy term reference field will need to be added to each content type, but you can re-use taxonomy term field instances quite easily. The decision to make this managed only in Field UI and not to have an interface in the vocab admin screen was made a few weeks ago.
