Yes, but that seems silly to me.

We should not be using tags in this way. First there needs to be an
agreement of what kind of tags we should allow in the commit messages,
before we start using them.

My opinion is just one voice here, so at this point it doesn't really
matter what I think.

If *you* think this is a good idea, I encourage you to submit an RFC
to the kernel docs for this. In this way we can collect the comments
and see if people think this is a good idea.

That said, do you want me to apply $subject patch without the tag or
would you rather proceed with submitting an RFC first?
