Heh, tag is correct if maintainer, e.g. you in this case, would like to
take such patch still. There were already such cases, I did it once as
well to express that I do not agree with the approach taken by other
maintainer and I want to be sure that a commit in git history will never
be used in future discussions against my review (because this happens
all the time "I found commit like this, so I can add here poor code").

Best regards,
