Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now, all APIs are bundled by their tags. APIs with multiple tags end up in multiple bundles, meaning duplicates of those APIs.
I'd like a way to access a set (no duplicates) of the APIs.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like for there to either be a data section added under/around the apiInfo section that has the APIs not grouped by tags, or for there to be a flag that makes the generator ignore the tags attached to apis.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Going through and stripping out the tags

This means that I'm changing the specification, even if it shouldn't alter any performance.

Manually revising the output

This isn't practical and means that we can't run with the output straight out of the box.

Including tags in the naming schema

This skirts past the name collision issue, but then you still have totally duplicated code with a more confusing name scheme.

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the related issues 312, 2844, and 8121, then trace how APIs are currently bundled by tags in OpenAPI Generator. Done means providing a supported way to access APIs once, without changing the source specification or manually revising generated output.
