I strongly disagree.  We have to use external files to support the
manual entering of data (who, when, what for, IDs of fixed bugs,
recipient of release) that could be captured at "cvs tag" time.

I would ideally like also to be able to restict how tags can be used
(e.g. tags of a certain format can be used only in a certain way -- in
my case, only on the top-level module and not directly on the modules
it includes).
