If I use a line like:
#+FILETAGS: f16-06625
and I want a headline in the file to not have that tag, is that possible?

There is a hack by David Maus to remove redundant (already inherited)
tags from a heading:

That is neat, but not quite what I had in mind.
I have a roster of headlines, one for each student in a course. The file
is tagged with #+FILETAGS: course_name
During a semester, students drop, and I have tried a few different
models to designate that, e.g. move the headline to an archived
headline, or tagging them as :dropped:.
I use this file like a database to generate lists of students, emails,
etc... but I want to exclude dropped students from that list.
I can use this as a "query" to org-map-entries
+course_name-dropped
but it seems like the best idea is to just archive the headline to
another file or delete the headline.
