1. need more expressiveness (label + value) 2. they are not a relationship, so semantically inaccurate 3. they should work for casts, not just accounts 4. unlikely to scale on protocol long term, there will be a *lot* of labels for all kinds of stuff

Makes sense. I'm ok with data stored off-protocol, but I would like a way to announce them on-protocol. Say I consumed Warpcast's "spam" labels. How do I know there's a next version? How do I consume the changes? Can we have some type on-protocol announcement? A special cast pointing to the new version? Something similar?
