I'm also suggesting that if we have inventory files (and patches to
them, I guess) in {arch}, then all tagging methods can use the same
implementation underneath---the different methods become different
ways of constructing the mapping between files and ids, but the
mapping itself can be consistent.  So that ought to mean that changing
tagging methods would be possible, for example.
