### Description
|
|
|
|
|
Shifty was great and served us well since the early days of the Awesome 3.\* series, but just as

|
|
|
many kid aged TV stars, it havn't grown that well. Many of it's, once unique, features are now
|
|
|
|
|
supported by the default awful.tag engine, adding legacy complexity to the code base and affecting
|
|
|
|
|
performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is why Tyranic was created. It is a light rule engine offering pretty much the same rule system,

|
|
but without all the dynamic tag code. Note that dynamic tagging is now supported directly by awesome.
