Yep, that's the idea, I think.  It's mentioned in both 942b6267a
(org-agenda: `tags-todo' command type includes DONE keywords,
2017-04-18) and 2fb129b5c (`org-scan-tags' retrieve all TODO keywords,
not only not-done ones, 2017-08-17).

This does resolve the reported issue with the b tags-todo set reported
in <https://orgmode.org/list/m2ftazm3l1.fsf@brautaset.org>.  However, it
breaks the org-tags-view todo-only operation (agenda's M): it no longer
filters out todos in a DONE state.  This behavior is explicitly
specified in the manual:

  Using ‘M-x org-agenda M’ or ‘/!’ does not match TODO keywords in a
  DONE state.

In <https://orgmode.org/list/87d061auiw.fsf@kyleam.com>, I asked,
"shouldn't tags-todo consider only none-DONE todo items, in the same
spirit as m versus M?"  And, looking at this again, it's not only in
spirit; the tags-todo agenda view and org-tags-view's todo-only are
really directly linked:

   ((eq type 'tags-todo)
    (org-let lprops '(org-tags-view '(4) org-match)))

After rereading the thread at m2ftazm3l1.fsf@brautaset.org, I'm still
not convinced we should break that link.
