But you just removed your tags so how much 'practice' have you had
really? At work it's different because you probably work with a very
small group of people, or an even smaller number on a per client basis.
I think in OSS where there can be a great number of contributors and
given that CVS history has been known to disappear the @author tags can
only be a good thing.

Provided the history is intact, yes.
