It's not a matter "moving this it's own tag", but creating a new tag
--- because what is in the docs is a lie.  It does not describe what
we do today.  And current practice is the reality, not what is in the
docs.

As to whether we should create a new tag to support explicit
dependencies, I'll leave that between you and Greg K-H and the rest of
the stable maintainers.  :-)
