It's still out of scope of this patch. As the change log states:

    Note, though, there are fundamentally no new or unique rules in this
    new document. It clarifies expectations that the kernel community has

A tag is a new rule. This document is to express existing behavior.
Adding a tag that currently doesn't match existing behavior should be a
separate patch.
