Hello all,

A while back, I was nattering around the parsing code for Cabal, and I noticed that Cabal still had code for parsing version tags, but was explicitly *not* printing out version tags. [...]

So if we're keeping tags around, at least for the immediate future, then we should print them; otherwise, we should get rid of them entirely!

IIRC, Duncan wants to remove version tags both from Cabal and Data.Version. So perhaps it's time to deprecate them.
