It could make a difference to the person searching the theme repository ... and in that same vein it could make a significant difference if a logical not was added to the search routine that uses these tags.
As it is, I still see no reason to not include the tag. It is more relevant now that there exist Child-Themes in the repository than when this ticket was first submitted.

What reason is there to include the tag? Being a child theme is not a feature.
When you look for a theme to use, it shouldn't make a difference if it is a parent or a child theme.

Seems like we don't need a tag either way — if searching for it is desired, then we can simply search on whether the theme has a parent theme specified. "Template:" is right next to "Tags:", no need to duplicate the data.
When you look for a theme to use, it shouldn't make a difference if it is a parent or a child theme.
I agree, and that's why we install parent themes automatically.
Child themes have been in the repo for a while now - without a tag. Why do we need one? It shouldn't make a difference to the user if he has a child theme or a regular theme.
