I can't comment on this directly, but the tag was also extended in
#895370 which might explain a little more.
If the *current* tag description is not helpful that is still a

Surely one can hold off on that until we get resolution here. A
resigned "have to" seems somewhat of an excessive and unnecessary
level of reaction, especially given the effort that has already
gone into this already.
