Of course not, explicit is exactly what I want. the context thread here
was not about explicit, it was only about the suggestion to use taglines
for l-k. If the l-k main repository will use taglines, then when I
checkout I will get it too and I understood at the moment changing
between taglines to explicit isn't trivial.
