tonybI agree on that timing but we know in advance what the tag shgould be so there is no need to use a placeholder tag.  We can and should just added the correct tag, albeit non-existent, at the time we create the election.04:09
tonybThis *is* the established process, the plaeholder thing happened as a result of human/tooling error04:09
tonybThe point of tagging the governance repo is to be able to see the state of it when the election tooling/roll-generation is run.  If we're going to do this placeholder/switcharoo we may aswell just use the actual SHA.04:11
tonybthe tag just makes things nicer: git -C .../governance tag -l | grep election04:12
fungiwhen i tried it sometime back, i was chided for guessing the next governance tag because "it's semver" and the tc might want to increase a different component of the version string12:08
gmannthat is why I am saying guessing the future tag is wrong. one example for that is this error for train electrion. election repo used tag 'feb-2019-elections' which never exit at all16:28
gmannit is better to go with placeholder and when time comes release tag and update in election it takes less than 5 min16:29
