It's impractical to tag old binaries, so therefore we have to tag new
ones. So if Jakub goes and actually implements some Quickstart like
mechanism not both can use this tag at the same time.
I think I have some better mechanism for the dynamic linker to detect
this problem without any tag at all. I'll work on that tomorrow and
checkout if it's actually implementable.
