That’s great! It’s exactly what I needed. I’ll just switch my persistent
tags from org-tag-alist to an agenda file. This is also neater as it
will get them out of my init files, where I didn’t feel that they
really belonged.

Thanks for this as well! It’s nice to have it. For the moment, I curate
manually these "persistent" tags, because i want to have them grouped
hierarchically. But knowing how to collect them automatically might be
useful for me as well in the future!
