It is not.

Robert Collins made the point that tagline ids are preserved through
processing with other revision control tools.  It's a perfectly valid
point, it's a highly likely use-case, and it's a case where taglines
clearly work as intended and explicit tags clearly don't.

Now, we have found a single advantage (in fact, much more than a single
advantage, but you have only asked for one).  So live up to your word,
add them, and be done with it.
