Yes, a new tag can be easily created at any time.

There is still an unresolved inconvenience related to Linux
distributions arbitrarily renaming the tools when doing sunxi-tools
packaging. It would be great if we could have a unification of the
tool names just for the sake of ensuring that the documentation and
howto guides can be easily used without confusing the users.

If we had a sunxi-tools maintainer, then that person could also
make a release announcement with the list of changes since the
previous tag.

This is a non-issue because github automatically generates tarballs
for the release tags.
