I want to use a filter to remove tags already on emails. I can add tags using a filter but cannot see how to remove tag using filter.

The FiltaQuilla add-on provides a "remove tag" option.

But, out of interest, what's the use case for removing tags by filter? Tags are normally used to facilitate or prompt human intervention and I don't immediately see the value of clearing a tag in a filter. Why tag if a filter will be dealing with it anyway?
