Comment (by osa1):

 +1 for removing it. We have much better tools for generating tags much
 more accurately and faster these days. I currently use these commands
 currently which work pretty well:

 {{{
 # Generate compiler tags
 $ fast-tags --no-module-tags driver ghc compiler -R +RTS -N

 # Generate RTS tags
 $ ctags --append -R rts/**/*.c rts/**/*.h includes/**/*.h

 # Generate library + compiler tags
 $ fast-tags --no-module-tags driver ghc compiler libraries -R +RTS -N
 }}}

 I have a few other commands as well for different variations of which
 files to tag.
