Ah, you have added RPMSIGTAG_RESERVEDSPACE already which I was not expecting.
The (minor but annoying problems) with the assignment to 1008 is that
RPMSIGTAG_RESERVEDSPACE collides with RPMTAG_INSTALLTIME, and will not sort
correctly to the end of an immutable region data section as a "free space" tag
through headerReload-like operations if any other RPMSIGTAG_FOO is defined.
Meanwhile -- because of the tagno assignment collisions between signature and
metadata headers -- its rather unlikely that any other RPMSIGTAG_FOO
assignments will ever be needed.
The functionally equivalent RPMTAG_SIGPADDING was assigned 0x3fffffff for
uniqueness and to permit assigned metadata tags (e.g. RPMTAG_PUBKEYS) to be
more easily moved between signature and metadata headers without explicit
remapping.
