These are all things we're thinking about, but unfortunately I don't have anything specific to say about the roadmap. In terms of your second bullet the answer is that it will include user generated flairs, although lower down the list. For the third bullet the answer is that you won't be able to in this first release, unfortunately.

The first bullet point is *extremely* important to our mod team. We just did not design our sub around the idea of post flair being a valid tag system. The most common use for flair on non-removed posts is 'Site Altered Headline', which provides information about a title that has changed on an article. That is in our view, a very confusing and user hostile thing to see first in a tag filter.

Flairs are often used to indicate removal reasons.
Would be pretty sweet if readers could filter by those flairs and see all the removed content for a given reason. This improved transparency could help prevent removals by showing contributors the reality of moderation in a given community.
Flair filtering as a concept opens up a much less authoritarian and more suggestive model of moderation where end users have the tools to dictate their own experience rather than have it forced by mods.
I’d love to have the ability to label things as offtopic in such a way that those who choose to can still see all the content submitted including what mods have deemed to be offtopic.
In general I’d like to see a lot more features take the form of flair filtering, giving end users more control over the feeds they view.
