Ahh, thanks.

If some sort of "push" notification is available only for "there is
a new release" but not for "there is a new tag", then I can sort of
see why having a "release" would be nice.  Listening to notifications
and acting on them is more pleasant than having to poll.

Do I understand what you said correctly?
