Comment (by duncan):
See also the thread on cabal-devel starting with:
http://haskell.org/pipermail/cabal-devel/2008-May/002818.html
The conclusion of the discussion was that we should either remove the tags
completely, or at minimum change the Eq instance to consider only the
`versionBranch`. I was going to put a proposal to removing them through
the libraries submission process. I suppose I should get round to doing
that.
