I've always understood that tags are supposed to be immutable. What's the advantage over a nightly branch, or a series of nightly-2022-05-05 tags?

I don't see a particular reason for ETK. This workflow follows the process for Foundry. I think in this case keeping track of one nightly build would be enough.

@SamWilsn should we just make it so that it keeps track of only one nightly tag?

So sorry for not replying sooner!

I'm strongly opposed to moving a tag. I'd much prefer a series of nightly-YYYY-MM-DD tags that never change, and possibly a nightly branch that points to the latest one.

That said, I'm not even sure there's much value in tagging nightlies? Considering how slowly we develop ETK, I think we could make do with publishing binaries only for numbered releases.
