It seems like people may be talking about different cases...
I see two:
(1) Where the taglines are added to the canonical sources (even though
they're not maintained using arch); this is what I intend to do
for emacs.
I think in this case, taglines are unquestionably useful, because
the identity sticks to the file, no matter where it goes.
(2) Where the taglines are _not_ in the canonical sources, and are
re-added to the source files whenever you do an import.
In this case, they're obviously a bit more annoying, and less
obviously superior to explicit tags.
However they could still be preferable if you only
import/synchronize-with external sources rarely, so the added
convenience within the arch universe is worth it; also, they
might be desirable if you intend to _later_ get taglines added to
the canonical sources, since the upgrade will be easier
(currently taglines and explicit tags can never be the same).
