Another way of looking at it is that such a tag would be capturing the 
same information as the Maven POM... The main value of a tag is to allow 
someone to check out all the code for a given release at once. Checking 
out just action and letting Maven pull the release jars for the other 
sub-projects gets you there anyway IMHO.
