Left-aligned, breaking before the sidebar
Even with left-alignment, we may not want titled to flow over the sidebar:
Reproduce by combinging text-align : left; ...

About the new badge icons
My second concern, the gold looking like "less" than the silver could be addressed by given the root more edges:

Now they have equally many edges, and gold clearly is the root.

About the tag [computational-complexity]
As far as I know, complexity-theory is a synonym.
If you agree, please upvote for mapping complexity-theory ← computational-complexity here.

Do we need tags [dfa] and [nfa]?
I think finite-automata is specific enough, even for questions that aim towards getting a DFA. That is because determinism is (usually) not the issue; every NFA can be algorithmically converted into a ...

Do we need both cluster and clustering tags?
Cluster is allocation unit, coupled together computers or parallel file system. 34 questions use it, none properly. Moreover using definitions I know, properly tagged question would be off-topic. ...

About [recursion-theory]
I propose to create the synonym computability ← recursion-theory
The terms may come from different schools, but as far as I know, describe the same field. In particular, a function is recursive (in ...

About the tag graph-algorithms
Not that this really adds a lot, but it at least gives a place for people to vote in favour of discarding graph-algorithms and using algorithms + graphs.

Tag rename (rice)
I'd suggest "rice-theorem". It would be easily found by automatch, and "rices" is not a word (in this context).

Should we merge "graphs" with "graph-theory"?
+1
I would say applications of graphs in CS do not fall in under graph theory as a mathematical field (research area), e.g. all the A* questions should be labeled ...

What to do about [tag:kernel] with multiple meanings
I recommend introducing the two tags os-kernel and kernel-functions,
and then introducing a tag synonym kernel -> os-kernel.
I do not think we need a special tag for "kernel" in the context of ...

Why is there a change in the privilege amounts needed for most actions?
There was a mishap upstream. All seems to be good again.
Note that once we graduate beta (which seems to be in preparation) privileges will go up in rep requirements. Discussing whether this makes ...

When will CS.SE graduate?
We are in the process of graduating now:
Congratulations! Computer Science is graduating!
When this process will conclude (with a custom design and adjusted privilege levels) is still unclear.

tags: variable-binding and scoping
I don't get the tag scoping either, variable-binding is fine for that question. I'm not convinced we need scoping at all and I'd prefer variable-scope if we introduce a synonym.

Can program-verification be made a synonym of software-verification?
This fell through the cracks. Nobody ever made the argument that they should be different, I know the topic and I can't spot any difference as to how these tags are used, so I've merged them.

Should we tag with [karnaugh-map] instead of [k-map]?
I don't see a compelling reason to have a tag that covers Karnaugh maps but not, e.g., Quine-McCluskey or other methods for achieving the same goal.
If you want to follow that logic, we should just ...
