Jason Ruymen opened his big mouth to say:
The concept is similar to web page metatags, where server operators can specify descriptive tags in any manner, and clients can search for servers by specifying the tags they're interested in. Some tags are automatically filled in, based on server convars. For example, in TF2 we've removed the restrictions on a variety of server options (like friendly fire & respawn wave times), and now the tag system will automatically add a tag when they're changed, so that customers who want to play on these servers can easily find them.

As you can see, we've put a new tab onto it called "Custom". Servers with tags will appear in this list, where the player can specify a list of tags they're interested in. The "Add Common Tags" button will give them a list of the top 20 tags in use across all the servers, so they're able to easily choose the popular tags. Untagged servers will show up in the old Internet games list.



In other words, friendly fire enabled again, plus a cool way of ignoring servers with annoying mods.

Not sure how tags work, but can't a server choose which tags to display and hide by commenting them?

It probably displays important gameplay-related cvars that aren't set to their default values. They might also grab plugin names.
