I find this just a little bit too reactionary - especially for the little known/used areas of code. We haven't had "ownership issues" because of them in the past, not? These tags sometimes help to find a contact, when questions remain unanswered on the list.
Well, a lot of people gave their +1
I am far from pushing this - actually I see it exactly like you do.
...but IIRC the board explicitly discouraged the author tag and we also had a lengthy discussion about this. Since we need to update the license anyway, I thought this might be the right time to follow the board's advice.
*shrug* we already touch each file anyway
