here's the meeting logs where disttag was made mandatory:

Looks like most of those packages could have it added but there are
a
few exceptions (the fedora-release-* packages were noted in that
meeting).

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure I understood the reason for having
an exception for fedora-{release,repos}*. The log says:

17:41:58 <tibbs|w> There's no reason for them to do so, since their
version is tied to the distro version.

Which is true, but why is that a reason to grant them an exception?
Would it cause any problems it they contained a distro tag as well?


Yes, because this is the package that provides the definition of the
distro tag. It couldn't install itself.

Can't this be hard-coded into the package itself?
