Hello. I am working on a pipeline for Drone to automatically perform actions based on tag creation/deletion. It has been verified that the webhooks are delivered on both creation/deletion events regarding the tag, but the following step only executes on tag creation. I need this to work for tag deletion as well to automate deployment rollback. Any advice or is this simply not feasible with Drone?

Drone v: 1.2.4

Step in question:

```auto
      - name: prepare_release
        image: alpine
        when:
          event:
            - tag
        commands:
          - ls
```

Drone only supports tag creation events. Drone ignores webhooks for unsupported events, such as tag delete, branch delete, pull request label added, pull request label removed, etc.
