I don't believe it is appropriate to throw the baby out with the bath
water.
I've clarified that IF you believe a project is engaging in re-tagging you
use
the commit hash method.   Just because some projects are abusing a function
doesn't mean you issue a blanket ban.

What my draft clarifies is that it is packagers decision on which method he
wants
to use; and it describes a clear procedure that must be followed if
upstream is
engaging in re-tagging.

If you wish to use the commit hash method all the time when dealing with
Git,
you can.  There is nothing in my text which says otherwise.
