I'm fairly sure we shouldn't. The default update-hook prevents them (if 
enabled), and I can't for the life of me think of why anyone would want 
to distribute such tags.

OTOH, preventing unannotated tags from being pushed seems like a better 
way than to not have the ability to auto-follow those same tags. After 
all, it's better to discourage than to disallow.
