I haven't seen a new tag, do you want me to create it?  I could move
the builds that are dependencies of Firecracker using what Fabio
wrote, but I don't know if you had any additional updates in there
(and I don't know how to list them after the tag was deleted).  The
only update I added was rust-vm-fdt.

Thanks.
