I'm discussing an issue in hs's issue queue about it's compatibility with other modules, noticed the message on this modules page

Hierarchical select is not enabled for tags, but for tagged vocabularies it replicates their field so they're the same as taxonomy module spits out (it unsets tags on save of vocabulary forum, so hs vocabs are never tags). so vocabularies that are tags and not hierarchical should work fine with hs_taxonomy module enabled.

Ie, the warning should probably for hs controlled vocabularies and not the hs module itself :>, as far as I can tell.

subscribing. i will continue to use 1.4 until it is made compatible.

No, while HS only makes explicit changes to non-tag vocabularies, it uses a override method that affects ALL vocabularies and does not compensate for the changes it makes. You can read more about this below.

In short:

...setting taxonomy_override_selector to true. This causes the core taxonomy module not to fill $form['taxonomy']['tags'] variable(see function taxonomy_form_alter in taxonomy.module).

So, while their is a way that I can fix this, it would cause a performance hit I am not willing to take. Especially when the correct way of fixing the problem is for modules that choose to use the taxonomy_override_selector to properly ensure that they are replacing "everything" they are overriding.

By the way, it's also not compatible with 'better formats'.
