Reason: I know this is going to be controversial, but hear me out.
I already know someone is going to argue these tags are going to be impossible to keep clean. Personally I'm not convinced -- given that this is an 18+ site, I have faith in the average e621 user's ability to count to six, or possibly as high as ten -- but even if a lot of posts end up in the wrong bucket, having multiple buckets at all is going to be infinitely better than having one. Even if half the posts in the 8_pack tag end up being mistags (which, again, I'm not convinced will happen), having a tag where 50% of the characters shown actually have eight visible abdominal muscles is better than having one where (wild guess) 2% do.
The other argument I can see is that repopulating these tags is going to be a massive effort. I'm not denying that, nor am I asking anyone to start a massive tagging project to repopulate them all at once. Our community resources could be better spent than on this, so why not just do what all the other tags on the site do and let them grow organically? It might take months or years before these tags have a decent number of posts in them, but better start late than never, right?
(I'd like to create new aliases and implications as follows, but the interface won't let me as long as the aliases that are currently there exist:)
