Tag merge / synonym request: [dry] → [dry-principle]

Question

Please merge tag dry (27 questions) into dry-principle (5), and make them synonyms.

Preference for master tag is because I consider dry-principle a more descriptive name.

Tag dry wiki excerpt is

DRY is short for "Don’t Repeat Yourself". This paradigm advocates to avoid code and data redundancy.

Tag dry-principle wiki excerpt is

Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY). Also known as Duplication Is Evil (DIE). The objective of DRY is to write code that is non-repetitive.

The fact that there are 27 questions for dry and only 5 for dry-principle might support the argument that dry is more intuitively obvious, even if dry-principle is technically more correct. — Dan Pichelman, Sep 16, 2013 at 14:21
@DanPichelman well I merely explained my preference. Your reasoning makes pretty good sense though, so wouldn't mind dry to be a master — gnat, Sep 16, 2013 at 14:23
