What is the reason for the limitation to 9 tags?

You can add more tags pretty easy if you build it yourself. Here's a basic patch showing the places to touch

Hi @meeeee3 - I've implemented a configurable number of tags in #739 . You can have anywhere from 1 to 32 tags with that PR. If you have time to help test it, I'd appreciate it. 🙂
