The point in asking why it's there was to establish why the GLEP as a
whole is relevant. In other words: it would be trivial[1] yet
pains-taking[2] to establish an alternative means to address the package
manager to package targets, but why would we want to do it?
Examples of where atoms fail and where tags do better could enlighten
us.

fail-over to ordinary atoms where the database is incomplete.
