I think the standards for every signature tag other
than Signed-off-by: should be _much_ higher than they
are and that most all uses of "Acked-by:" and
"Reviewed-by:" tags are for vanity.

"Tested-by:" tags would be more helpful if the test
cases that were used were somehow sent along with the
signature.
