[ckan-dev] ckanext-scheming vs tag vocabularies

Hello Armin,

I use scheming multiple-choice fields because my controlled
vocabularies are very tied to my metadata schemas (and I want
multilingual labels). Scheming also lets me take those choices from a
datastore table, an external skos file or anything you can access from
a helper function. It doesn't mirror the vocabulary in postgres
because that hasn't been required.
