You can do whatever you want to your own config file without asking anybody.

Having said that, the point of the recent change to allow you to pull this

    $ git pull $url $signed_tag_name

is so that you do not have to contaminate your own ref namespace with tags
that are used to leave audit trails in the history graph.
