Hi,

As Colomban explained, tags cannot be accessed whilst tagmanager is
updating them, that still has to be the case, so you can't use
autocompletes and lots of other things whilst this is happening, and
even if that was acceptable there would be lots of work to actually
prevent the access.

Cheers
