I agree, and I really like the alternative suggestion here. Some people
in the thread have talked about how there are often conflicts between
branches due to the changelog, but the other common reason for
conflicts is the release field in my experience. If we use tags as an
explicit "I want this to go to users", then it solves both problems (I
consider sending all commits to end users a problem, because I often
make refactor commits that I would not want to churn users on.)
