Well, exactly this is one of the points I consider to be a "must-be

At least I consider consistent and clear conventions on "NEVR"'s, which
%dist is part of, to be a minimum requirement for closer and better
Core<->Extra (+external repos) interaction.
To me, the current situation leaves much to be desired.
