Comment:

 Tags are a pretty scary prospect. All the builders (or at least, all those
 we want to do tagging) would need passwordless write access to the repos,
 and the number of tags would be high in periods when everything is working
 (at least 3 per day per repo, presumably). I don't think there would be
 any technical problems with doing it, though.

 The summary of my attempt to do something similar with darcs contexts is
 here:
 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-May/035884.html

 Dates are a slightly less pleasant way (than contexts) of doing it, but if
 they don't suffer from the problems I had with contexts then going that
 route is probably better in the short term.

 Making the nightly builders make the contexts or dates of the latest (n)
 successful build(s) available is easy enough to do, we just need someone
 to find a way to do something useful with the output (realistically,
 something that doesn't require doing a get --complete).
