*After* 1.8.0 is released? Isn't the intention to deprecate svn.tag *in*
1.8.0?

I don't care when maintainers start switching svn.tag to svn.revision, so long as it's not before 1.8.0 is released. People running lint in trunk, or in this case people receiving lint emails from the server that's running trunk, may erroneously believe they should already today make this change, which is detrimental to do until users have upgraded to 1.8.0.
