Largely out of curiosity - if that's truly a tag, ...

... why not refer to it here and instead spell out a hash?

Well, it's a git tag, but it's not signed by upstream :-(.

Upstream started to do a release for OVMF every 3 months somewhat
recently. They will stop taking new feature and only take fixes for a
couple of weeks, then tag the tree.

Since the tag isn't signed, it's probably better to keep using a hash.

Thanks.  I am OK with this but I think we should hold off committing
it until the XSA fallout has been sorted.
