I think the argument against it was that the SVN repository's history can
tell you everything you need to know about who has changed the code.  And,
it's more accurate than @author tags, because those have to be maintained by
whoever is making changes.  I like @author tags, too, but I could take 'em
or leave 'em.

We've had discussions of this before. I believe the end result was
that we liked author tags!  I know I do.
