I did not check CVS for some time. The desired behavior is to have a
tag that points where an opening blunder was played. I see no poetry
in Scid 4.2.2, simply opBlunder is a way to check a bunch of games but
only up to the Nth plies.
"opBlunder" is not an untranslated tag but something anybody can look
at when searching for games with a blunder in the opening.

The first one is the best, but the third blunder can be also useful.

Putting the opBlunder token in the Annotator filed was a choice, but
indeed meaningless (it is nothing to do with an Annotator name). So it
could go anywhere if a better place is found.

7 (white) means white blundered at move 7.

Both, I think.
