Weeellll... for the most part I agree.

However, there are times when you need to compare two revisions that are not
tagged. If we followed the philosophy that you never use or see the numeric
revision, then you'd have to apply two tags for the sole purpose of seeing
what changed between the two revisions. It's much easier to say

cvs di -r1.123 -r1.124
