Tested with JBT, first current behavier with 5.3-dev and checking the _history table:

  • Created, trashed and deleted one tag -> com_tags.tag.2 entry remains

  • Created, trashed and deleted one tag -> com_tags.tag.2 entry is deleted together with the tag
  • Created, trashed and deleted one content category -> com_content.category.8 entry is deleted together with the content category
  • Created three tags, edited each two times -> each with three entries -> 9 entries com_tags.tag.*
    • Deleted one version entry -> 8
    • Deleted this tag -> 6
    • Deleted remaining two tags -> 0
  • Created three content catgories, editied each two times -> each with three entries -> 9 entries com_content.category.*
    • Deleted one version entry -> 8

I don't think it is a good way how this is implemented, I would prefer a more generic approach
