Yes you are right. I even expected this answer. But in reality
it is more clear if you have a look in the svn logs.
It's easier to read the name of a tagged name instead of a
anonymous revision number from the trunk.
Imagine someone finds a really big bug in the current stable version.
To fall back to a prior release is simple if it is tagged!
