Yeah. I think for that we’d need to make a distinction for privately-owned vs collectively-owned sequences. I do think we want to give authors a way to collect and group their own posts how they want without inteference. However, making sequences optionally editable by anyone is conceivable. (As is making certain kinds of “posts”, which we’ve thought a bunch about.)
Both tags and sequences are just collections of posts. The bid advantage sequences have over tags is order, i.e. “sequencing” :P
Unfortunately, the current UI for editing sequences is not very good at all.
In the short term, I’d be interested to see people use tags in place of sequences for some use-cases, and publicly maintain. E.g. I might create a tag for the Alignment Newsletter and all the historical posts for it.

Some of the discussion around the way voting could work for tags suggested something like “sequencing” could be good for tags. (For cluster similarity or value to cluster, I think.)

Maybe something like this stuff could be done on the wiki, although I’m not sure if that fits with the point of the wiki.
(Which isn’t read/used as much, and having (public) pages with things called ‘sequences’ over there that aren’t over here could be small source of confusion.)
The ‘any one can edit’ feature/aspect seems like it might be useful for sequences.
