Its not a bug report it is a request to eliminate sth. which is useless in 90% of all cases (or leave it as it is when there is no problem,...)

I would say it slightly different:
Keywords don't improve ranking and maybe don't harm rankings.

I had the same idea in mind before proposing a definition, but I came to the conclusion that
1. this checkbox might be confusing for 90% of all users
2. this would be an extra field in the pages XML file I think. adding a field for sth. which is not used in most cases makes not much sense

I didn't think of that. Sounds good. I have to think about it. Still, i'm concerned that noob users might have crappy keywords in their meta without even knowing - by default.
As i m no hardcore coding plugin developer / hacker, I have no idea what the best solution in regards of performance is.
I'm curious what other GS-user think about the whole issue.
