You use that field already, too.
But then you ignore the fact that lots of people want the disttag to give
them a recognisable identifier in the filename and package info (EVR).
"the fact" ?
"lots of people" ?
i would say:
1)
a user will package "foo" and not
"foo-dag", "foo-fdr" or "foo-fr"
with all the dependencies on this hacked release-tag.
eg.
"bar-dag", "bar-fdr", "bar-fr"
2)
and a user will update "foo" to a new release without problems with
several repositories.
