We've got a bunch of tags which are pretty narrow, and thus not much of use. Similar to Private beta cleanup: tag synonyms and tag merges, I suggest we use this "question" to collect those CW-wise to decide on each one (one tag per answer).
Other than "over there", answers here should not be deleted, but "marked with the solution" (preferably edited into the top of the answer) for later reference – just in case the very same tag pops up again later.
REMOVED Only 1 question used it, in the sense of "collaboration" → re-tagged.
change-history: quite narrow. True, useful for many development (and other) stuff – but does it really need a specific tag? I'd say: No, and we remove it.
REMOVED Only 1 question used it, removed the tag from it as "being meta"
bootable is a little strange. If the question is for a specific OS: that's bootable by definition. Other software is not "bootable" at all.
Explanation: Behind that stands a misunderstanding, at least in most cases. People think e.g. of "stand-alone virus-scanners", where you put the CD/USB-Stick in, and it starts automatically with the scan process. But that's rather a Live-CD (or stick). It's not the application booting up, but the underlying OS, which then automatically starts the AV-software. Like via an autoexec.bat (DOS/Windows) or some init script (*nix).
Conclusion: The tag makes no sense – unless interpreted as "common parent" to Live-CDs/DVDs/Sticks, in which case it's at least "confusing". At the moment, I cannot think of another "common term" to better match this.
Suggestions please in the comments :)
REMOVED from the only question using it.
code-coverage is much to specific, and should either be merged (and optionally synonymized) into code-review or deleted altogether.
code-coverage), and don't think a merge+synonym makes sense here. The only question holding it currently could simply be re-tagged.
parallel: only used on one question, in combination with multi-core which is basically the same but better worded IMO. Removed from the question; so it will be trashed when SO next refreshes the tags list. Speak out if you disagree.
parallel tag is partly about GNU Parallel and partly about parallel processing in general. In the part about parallel processing in general, not all questions are about sharing CPU resources.

partition is too narrow. That is just one aspect of HDD oriented tools and should be stated in the Questions text, not in a Tag.
amazon: do we really need such a specific tag? I could imagine a more common shopping or something similar. Please, put your ideas in the comments to this answer.
EDIT: (just for clarification) "Upvote" for "kill", "Downvote" for "keep".
amazon tags I would bet there will come people to us.
