Looks pretty good to me. I'm not entirely sure that crowdfunding should be a separate tag. It seems like it's quite similar to pre-ordering, but maybe the distinction is useful. I agree that build logs should probably just get a subset of this, but I don't see why a build-log couldn't be "Stalled" as well. But in general, the destinction between build logs and potential commercial projects is a useful one. If we agree that one subforum is only for commercial ideas, a tag should be mandatory.

Something I'd also like to propose is to automatically mark a thread as stalled if it has not been updated by the OP for a certain amount of time. Not sure if that's doable, but it would certainly be useful.

What I'm not sure about is how this is to be handled for cases that were produced in the past but aren't anymore, cases that are in stock and can be ordered. I guess the latter could say "Production", but that communicates that you can't buy it right now. And for the former, there is a distinction between "Completed (but actively supported)" and "Completed (and never to appear again)" to be made. Maybe "Stalled" could be expanded to "Stalled/Discontinued"?
