Actually not. My suggestion was a qualified one: "If all you need is a textual information plus a single pointer to a commit object", and Martin did not say different generations of arch metainfo needs to be strung together, so you could keep updating the tag object in "refs/tags/arch-meta-info", which has such a pointer and textual arch meta info and nothing else.
