Collection: Filters works well on the homepage but breaks under tags section

With Ghost 2.8.0 it’s now fixed:

Solution

# filters out few tags from Ghost's homepage
routes:
  /:
    controller: channel
    filter: tag:-[about,under-the-hood,how-to]
collections:
  /:
    permalink: /{slug}/ 
    template:
      - index

taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/

Little hack

Instead of filtering out, I decided to limit to. I can perfectly live with this :)

# filters out few tags from Ghost's homepage
routes:
  /:
    controller: channel
    filter: tag:[article,proof]
# excluding: [about,under-the-hood,how-to]
		
# redefine the collections as I we can't define /: twice
collections:
  /archive/:
    permalink: /{slug}/
    template:
      - index

# default values
taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/
