create alias blurry_background -> depth_of_field
Well, I don't really see any big differences between those and could be used as synonyms, right?

You can have depth of field where the background (or part of it) is in focus, or where there is no background at all. When the background is in focus and the foreground is out of focus then that is still depth of field - eg. post #2562333.
I would also argue that when a background is abstract (eg. post #2480481) rather than an actual scene then a blurry background does not make it depth of field.
It is more like a real, real rare subset, if at all. There are these cases, sure. But in most cases you have indeed a blurry background. Or is there any information lost if we alias that to the other tag? You know there are some aliases, like thigh boots to thighhighs, that are slso not entirely correct, but it is hiding some tag noise.
Thigh boots to thighhighs is an implication not an alias. And all thigh boots are thighhighs, so the implication is correct.
There are some slightly odd aliases out there, yes. But they're usually cases where the thing that is aliased doesn't really have any use, like the alias of 7 to 7-tan - the tag of 7 would serve no more purpose than the existing (and pointless) 5 tag does. Similar situations with things like adult being aliased to older.
Whereas in this case both tags have their own distinct purposes that they are currently used for, and there are genuine uses of both tags that would not fall under the other. There is a very definite and large overlap between the two, yes, but that doesn't warrant an alias as far as I'm concerned.
Incidentally, I also wouldn't consider the likes of post #2256893 to be depth of field, and then you've got the likes of post #2254804 which also definitely isn't, so there are more cases than just those I mentioned previously. At a guess I'd say about 85% of tags that are currently tagged blurry background should also be tagged with depth of field, and (from a quick sampling) perhaps 75% in the other direction. That's a big overlap but not much larger than some other tag combinations.
The tag alias blurry_background -> depth_of_field (alias #14497) has been rejected.
The bulk update request #1030 has been approved.
