Precisely. Tags do not need to replace folders. They just need to supplement them. Adding this to the GUI is easy, as done in Windows 7 with Libraries, and in GMail with IMAP (tags == folders), and in Zimbra (dynamic/saved searches == folders). And, didn't BeOS do this 10 years ago?
The fun part will be retrofitting it into the VFS/FS layer, so that it also works at the CLI level.
