This is because the graphs only go back one year.  Although, I admit, I
am not sure how the site handles corner cases like the last tag
disappearing.

Furthermore, this tag is currently on the "fatal" auto-reject list, so
it is difficult reintroduce.

I do not remember how or what happened.  I can trace the tag back to
#678857, which includes Andreas Beckmann quoting me from IRC:

"""
<nthykier> we occasially [sic!] also see buildd paths as well
"""

Though I still cannot remember the concrete case and a quick googling
did not help either.

Thanks,
