Yes, agreed, the date is very helpful (it should be YYYYMMDD).  It's 
especially helpful when identifying exact branch and merge points - the 
nature of cvs is such that "cvs log" is not exact.  Besides, there's 
nothing to stop the person cutting the branch from using "cvs admin" to 
create a shorter alias for the currently active longer tag.
