We need a coherent tag name to use across layers. The Yocto Project is
the umbrella project, so using the yocto-project in the tag name is a
good way to show this coordination among projects to people not familiar
with how things are working. (As Koen notes, this makes communication
with people whose primary exposure to the Yocto Project is watching
youtube videos)

I do not want to see table containing Yocto Project release information
and they relate to a set of seemingly random tags in other layers.

PS: For various reasons, the tag needs to be yocto-project.... not yocto....
