I think this could/should be combined with the changes to deprecate the
=tagging-method file in favour of the .arch-inventory file.
Then, the interterpretation of existing =arch-inventory files need not be
changed, and the "flag" could just be the presence of =arch-inventory
(old-style rules) or non-presence (new-style rules)
