Yes, I think so; although it might be worthwhile elaborating to avoid any potential confusion. Something like: Git tags should not be pushed to the ELPA repository. This is because: * Tags are global throughout any git repository. * Therefore tags sourced from one package might conflict with tags sourced from another project (e.g. a version tag "1.0"). * The ELPA repository doesn't need any tags. Note that git will not push any tags unless you explicitly tell it to do so.
