I recently received a suggested edit on one of my posts (which I had tagged osx) adding in a new mac tag, which has only been used once before.
Do we really need this tag? Isn't the osx tag enough?

No, the tag osx
is enough. Mac isn't software but hardware. Osx is the software/OS running on macs.
Expanding on Jordi Kroon's suggestion:
We need a good tag wiki. So that noone uses osx for hardware and mac for software.
We should blacklist the tag mac, and instead have a tag mac-hardware. and a mac-os for operating system.
Possibly where mac-os is synonymised to osx (or the latest mac OS), but as comments point out this has issues. Instead puttign a note in the osx tag wiki saying Strongly consider using the mac-os tag if this is not specifically for osx, but for any mac-os. Please do not use both.
