Effectively that rules out Release Engineering and Integrators from ever being "significant".

The work it takes Release Engineering to get to the point of creating the tags is very significant, they are
important members of the project, those tag changesets represent quite a bit of work.

The work it takes an Integrator to verify merges build and test prior to pushing in changesets is also very
significant, and it's the Integrators who author many of those merge changesets.
