reptag at the end causes ambiguities. You can not say if '1.1.1.foo' means versions 1.1 for FC1, or if it means version 1 for FC1.1.
repotag before disttag is the only way which makes sense; see

You're right. Sounds good. And additionally it makes numeric distribution tags readable (not just a number amongst other numbers but separated from the rest by the repository tag - the "and which of these numbers is the disttag?" question was one of my dislikes of the purely numeric scheme).

This is assuming we accept reptag in all Core and Extras packages. Previous discussions have had reptag not included in FC and FE, but necessary for all other repositories.
