In the right-hand navigation bar of the site, there is a “Tags” box which lists the most popular post tags. This box has a feature whereby the tags are rendered in a font size proportional to their frequency of occurrence.
Over time, the attribution of the “sequence_reruns” tag to sequence rerun posts has made this feature inoperative: because it’s the single most used tag, and no other tag even comes close in frequency, every tag is now rendered at precisely the same font size except for “sequence_reruns”.
I had no idea it had already been reported, but I see it’s been corrected now (ETA: nope! I was confusing Main and Discussion). Updating in favor of being a squeaky wheel.

You deserve at least 24 upvotes for pointing this out.

No, it hasn’t. There are two different tag clouds, one for Main and one for Discussion. It’s the Discussion one that faces the problem.
Oops.
You should edit your original comment to indicate this, so that other people don’t think it has been corrected.
Strictly speaking it’s not precisely the same font size. A few, such as “rationality” and “meta” appear to be one size bigger.
Some tags such as “meetup”, “psychology” or “rationality” do appear to have a slightly larger font size, in my browser at least.
