Hmm, this is an interesting question (whether to have a big backlog on 
the team board and allow essentially anything related to be tagged 
Core-Features, or limit it to things that are imminently considered for 
team work).  I think the first one may be simpler.

Yeah, I don't think this is necessary (especially if the "big backlog" 
approach is chosen).  We have to remember that sometimes our team should 
be involved in tasks that aren't part of Flow or Echo per se, so the 
Core-Features tag is a good way to associate such tasks.
