I think it is a good idea to introduce this tiebreaker to give the listing
some degree of stability.  And I also notice that you prepared a patch
that can easily apply to an older codebase like 1.6.6 maintenance track.

I have anything against this as an incremental and low impact improvement,
but at the same time I think we might want to consider adding the tagger
date to "struct tag".
