Now that I can press the "save" button on core patches, this little module that could has made it back up to the top of my "itch list."

I was giving it some more thought today, and something that we'd probably need for this module not to be utter, flaming chaos on drupal.org is the ability to restrict who could add terms to the vocabulary. Anyone can *select* from the existing tags, but you have to have "add new tags to $foo vocabulary" permission (or whatever) to add new ones. If you don't have it, you get a validation error when you attempt to submit the form.

To me, this sounds like functionality that belongs in core itself, or in a separate vocabulary/taxonomy access control module.

It seems to me that #307846: Split up taxonomy permissions to allow editing of terms by non-admins... on a per-vocabulary basis would be the best place to do this. If that gets done, and comment_alter_taxonomy gets used on d.o, perhaps someone could backport whatever fix is done in #307846: Split up taxonomy permissions to allow editing of terms by non-admins... on a per-vocabulary basis to the drupal.org customizations module.

I think webchick misunderstood how comment_alter_taxonomy works. For regular vocabularies (ones the user chooses via a select box), they can't add additional terms. It's only free tagging vocabularies that users can add terms to. So I think nothing needs to be done here.
