That would work, but seems nonsensical to me: tags are immutable, branches are
mutable. We want to makr a specific version, using an immutable marker is the
correct tool.

At least in theory...

Github and Packagist equate tags with releases? Huh. I'd say that sucks in a
roayl way - to me, tags on master serve a completely different purpose. Only
tags on a lelease branch mark actual releases.

If this interpretation is a general convention, then I agree with your concerns,
because then our tagging policy is misleading. But using branches instead of
"internal tags" seems bad too. How do other projects handle this?
