SharePoint 2010: Did you know that......Taxonomy feature?

Recently, a lot of people have been faced with the Taxonomy error message that says "The Taxonomy feature (Feature ID “73EF14B1-13A9-416b-A9B5-ECECA2B0604C”) has not been activated" and they wonder why this is so when their installation is so clean, both on site collection features and site features, this Taxonomy feature is not listed, and the administrator ends up activating it via STSADM.

Did you know that creating a BLANK SharePoint site collection does not activate the Taxonomy feature? well now you know :), so that you can now include this step in your deployment documentations.
