I added a feedpages directive to `blog/index.mdwn` to not pick up anything tagged `tags/random/hidden` yet that still happenend.

    ~git/richardhartmann.de/blog % grep hidden index.mdwn
    \[[!inline pages="./posts/*/*/* and !*/Discussion" feedpages="./posts/*/*/* and !*/Discussion and not tagged(tags/random/hidden)" show="10" actions=yes rootpage="blog"]]
    ~git/richardhartmann.de/blog % grep hidden posts/2013/05/17-Debian_Release_Critical_Bug_report_for_Week_20.mdwn
    \[[!tag tags/tech/floss/debian tags/tech/floss/debian/rc-stats/8.0-jessie tags/random/hidden]]
    ~git/richardhartmann.de/blog %

If you need more information, please let me know.
