P: Please add advanced keywords - controlled vocabulary

Lightroom CC and Keywords.
It appears that the CC version only has limited support for keywords. For those of us who have spent years collecting or building controlled vocabularies, this would be a critical requirement and is a potential game-changer in respect of migrating to the CC version. Dealing with 10,000 bird species in a variety of languages including scientific binomials ain't going to be fun in a flat keyword list. I recognise that for people who only want 'blue', 'sky', 'holiday' this won't be important, but for digital asset management it is pretty up there.
Support for a continuation of hierarchical controlled vocabularies would be much appreciated.

    What would be a good workflow for using keywords in Lightroom CC?  I've used Lightroom 5 for a little while, and I see you can add a hierarchical list of keywords which you can select from when going through images.  But I can't find this feature in LR CC.  So how would you add keywords like location, person name (first and last name), atmosphere, etc.?

    I would like to see a list of existing keywords to click on to add.  Also - "Music" and "music" should be the same keyword. so frustrating.

      My keyword list is probably not THAT deep, but not being able to migrate existing keywords is a major roadblock.

      Second that. Keywording is a definite game changer for me. Together with the latest directions taken by Lightroom CC moving everything into the cloud including all bugs in new software versions, I'm now considering putting serious effort into learning an entirely new photo platform and adapting my workflow accordingly.
