I think you (Miles) should want to see a universal standard for
_tags_, of which taglines are a subset. Basically, all of
`inventory' is the thing to think about factoring out and standardizing.

It's also for source hygiene, source auditting, cataloging, and
changeset exchange -- all of which a revision control system may or
may not take into account -- but none of which are, in and of
themselves, revision control.
I wonder, sometimes, if I had released `inventory' as a separate
package first -- sure, few people would be directly interested in it
at first -- and then made it a pre-req for arch that you had to
separately download, how many of these (fairly oft-repeated)
discussions would occur.
Perhaps I should have made mkpatch/dopatch separate packages, too,
(for which inventory would, again, be a pre-req).
Both under (distinct) pseudonyms...
