Nope ... doing the tags didn't work as well as was hoped, so we've just been using date ranges instead ... release itself will be tag'd ...

If you use `cvs tag -d symbolic_tag...', the sym- bolic tag you specify is deleted instead
ofbeing added. Warning: Be very certain of your ground before you delete a tag; doing
thiseffectively discards some historical information, which may later turn out to have been
valuable.
