Repotag

Hi,

Could you please add a repotag to your EPEL packages ?

I know you guys think you have enough authority to not require a repotag.
And you generally do not care because the default policy will be to tell 
people other packages than EPEL are dangerous. (look at the release to 
identify a package)

But by not tagging your packages, you take advantage of the fact that 
other repositories play nice and *do* tag their packages.

But what will happen if I (and other repositories) start doing the same 
thing and drop the repotag ?

I don't know if I have to start threaten to make you see the light, but I 
strongly consider dropping the repotag if Fedora and Red Hat cannot play 
nice.

Thanks for taking notice.
