Only if all all previous posts get retagged from 5e.
I've seen thread necros to "correct" 5e discussion with "well book XX says" when XX wasn't out at the time of the discussion. Can you see people searching on google and resurrecting threads left and right with "this say feature Y, but I don't see that/it doesn't do what the thread says, please help".
There is the potential to be a lot of confusion, especially in the years to come with people searching either locally or via a search engine, and getting 2014 material when looking for 2024. It's insanity not to tag them differently, and if you want 2024 to take over the current 5e tag, then all 2014 material needs to be retagged.
This isn't a judgement on what the tag for 2024 material should be, just a comment that there needs to be separate tags for 2014 and 2024 material because the forums are persistent and the chance for misunderstanding or mistake is high without it.

Definitely on board for the merge. It's nice having 5e all in one place.

Undersigned for all of this. It really befuddled me when people decry WotC marketing speak and demand the usage of a ".5" moniker in the same sentence. As if 3.5 wasn't egregious marketing BS in 2003.
I thinknit is worth remembering that in 2024, a huge portion of the target audience for D&D books wasn't even born when 3.5 was in print. And most of the rest were small children.

D&D Next existed before it became D&D 5e.
One D&D exists before becoming D&D 5.5e.

This is something that bugs me to no end. I know there's no good reason for it to, but it does.

Why do you think the 3.5 label was egrerious marketing?

Agreed. No matter how we end up calling the 2014 and 2024 versions of the game, they are - by design - close enough that putting them into a single forum makes sense.
Personally, I tend to favour 5e and 5.5e due to brevity. But if they end up being called "D&D (2014)" and "D&D (2024)" here on the boards (as the current tag seems to indicate), that's fine with me, too. It's not like the name matters too much.
