go-ceph release tags

[isi-lincoln]

I would like to introduce the topic of having releases for go-ceph. This would also be related to #70 in the sense of dependency versioning.

For many this will act as a point of stability for CI/CD where pegged code releases can be used instead of relying on master branch. As good as a practice of writing tests for code, there is always the chance for new bugs to be introduced. Having release versions would help go-ceph users from introducing bugs that may be introduced via the master branch.

dep (https://github.com/golang/dep) is one such tool that allows dependencies to be versioned to reduce the risk of introducing bugs into stable versions of go-ceph.

This was already discussed in #72.

I dont see any mention of having release tags - only which package manager to use. This is tangential to the package management.

I was referring to your dep suggestion. Otherwise yes, I agree it would be nice to see go-ceph release some tags.

Apologies, i meant to use it as an example for why release tags would be helpful.
