Hrm....   I haven't done such work, but a couple of thoughts.

 

1) The vary structure of creating "Jobs" to run on slave machines means you are manually selecting what is to be run at the time you create the job.  So, it's almost redundant to use "tags" to achieve the result, especially since I don't believe the creation of a job is something that can be done in code.

 

2) Even if creating jobs is something that can be done in code, I don't recall whether or not "tags" are something that are accessible at Runtime.  That would also create a barrier in doing so as you would have no means of filtering out items based upon tag.
