Yuck, why do we need enforcement for this at all? Why would I want to move a 
tag after a successful build? If I submit a new build for the moved tag, it 
will fail anyway, so why would I do that?

IMHO the check which forbids deleting a tag should also be removed, all it does 
is preventing us from fixing bad tags, e.g. when devel was tagged with an 
outdated common directory and thus gets a _fc8 tag, there's no way to undo this 
nor to move the tag to the F-8 branch, so the only way to get the F-8 branch 
tagged after such a mistake is to bump Release. :-(

Why can't we trust each other not to intentionally do nonsense with tags? 
Moving or deleting a tag after a successful build won't gain me anything, so 
why would I do that?
