I think we should encourage that. I think requiring is too strong, but simply 
making that request clear is reasonable enough.

I disagree. It does not really help. Minimization is often enabled by adding 
something *else* later, so such tags would be misleading. In addition, adding 
them would be a pain & create a lot of useless fluff.

To me the solution is clear: automation. When we started last time almost 
nothing was automated. I ended up writing some scripts to automate parts of it, 
but that was done on the fly *during* the minimization. Instead, let’s play on 
letting the computers do all the work. If it’s going to happen annually, then 
let’s treat it as something that automatically happens annually.
