Wow! That's a great suggestion! Seems like an under-documented and under-appreciated feature, but other than being private rather than public, it is close to what you'd want from tags.
Thanks, Mukunda!

Another option for personal categorization: 'flags' - it's the phabricator equivalent of bookmarks. Flags are personal, not shared publicly.

Thanks for all the suggestions,
If I sum up (in no particular order):
- tracking tasks: pros: everyone can do it cons: requires a lot of manual steps to classify, possible confusions
with existing hierarchy, hard to search
- tags pros: seems to be perfect cons: requires special perms, could lead to tons of meaningless tags if
it was open
- keywords in description pros: flexible because non structured cons: no special tools in phab to manage them, easy to get lost
- single tag with workboard and columns pros: good compromise cons: affected columns are not displayed everywhere, cannot assign to
multiple columns, requires 2 steps to classify, cannot search a specific column
Tags remain the ideal solution imo.
I see that phabricator added a notion of subproject recently could it help in this case?
Thanks.

I think the ideal is that a task has finite work and is eventually closed.
Yes, this is the reason some dislike the tracking tasks; not a problem if you create reports for, say, 12 different classes of actionable search problems and add a handful blockers for each.
(A contributing factor was that Phabricator's support for dependencies between tasks is awful: hard to add, no flexibility in notifications, no charts, no searchability. Tracking tasks were very powerful in bugzilla, not so much in Phabricator.)
