That goes back to another discussion but tags should not be removed once
added, mainly because it is too painful to do. Another way to deal with
this is to replace the use of Packet::FindFirstMatchingTag by
Packet::FindLastMatchingTag (which is not implemented yet, but should
not be too hard to do).
