Using tags [arcmap] and [arcgis-desktop]?

From Tagging ArcGIS questions there are four applications directly related to (17110 questions):

Regarding it seems a lot of questions (~3k) are about it, but only tagged (see here)*.

I think this is a problem, because it helps splitting content across duplicate questions; for example, one uses only , the other only .

So, how should both tags be used and live together in GIS SE? It was discussed before that they should not be synonyms (Should arcmap tag be a synonym of arcgis-desktop). Is there something we could do to improve their use?

*This also happens with the other applications (for example, arcglobe), but a big difference is the number of questions missing the application tag is much smaller than [arcmap]. In these cases, it would be achievable reviewing such posts and apply the tags (if necessary).
