Nodes running on preemptible VMs are labeled with cloud.google.com/gke-preemptible=true (see documentation here <https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/docs/preemptible-vm>)
The downside of using a taint instead (or in addition) is that then users would have to explicitly add tolerations to use these nodes. So the default out-of-the-box behavior would be more complicated (and, for people who didn't thoroughly read the documentation, confusing). I guess we could add an option to "gcloud beta container node-pools create" to tell GKE to add a taint in addition to a label, so users who wanted this behavior could request it.
