Beta tags are still missing in submodules. Is this planned to be fixed?
The official 1.89.0 release is now available. Why beta tags? Those versions are immediately "obsolete".
Well, for the same reason why we have release tags - to mark the revisions that went into the beta. Yes, those are not as important and useful as the final release tags, but still. During the release process, beta tags are needed to make links to docs and sources work on the website, as evidenced by this thread. So if tagging is not somehow automated, it should be, so that we don't have this problem in the next release cycle. If it is automated, then why didn't it work this time?
