Given that it's a lot of work just to convince projects to have sane numbering and clear licensing, that even Red Hat (hello Liberation) has been known to release high-profile material out of a VCS, that tag move and history rewrite is rampant even in our own Fedora CVS, this seems a hopeless cause to me. You keep giving big projects with lots of resources as examples, but while a big part of the distribution, they're not all of it. -- Nicolas Mailhot
