A short highlight where I'd like to change things (any feedback welcome 
and we can consult it later today)..

We already spoke about it before, but it seems to me the current tags 
names don't work this way -- the changes basically come from the idea to 
have two sets of collections:

* one set of RHSCL collections (basically RHSCL content, just available 
for everyone, something like CentOS is to RHEL)

* another set of collections that are not in RHSCL (that extend the 
RHSCL collections or they are something what is not in RHSCL at all, 
something like EPEL is to CentOS/RHEL)

Having the sets separated will be useful for RH customers who will be 
able to use RHSCL packages from RH, but will be able to use the 
EPEL-like collections as well.


Anyway, that means we'll need to change the tags scheme this way:

Instead of sclo7-common-{candidate,testing,release} we'll need to have 
two sets of tags/repositories:
* sclo7-common-rh-{candidate,testing,release} (acts as centos for rhel)
* sclo7-common-sclo-{candidate,testing,release} (acts as epel for 
rhel/centos)

Every collection will then put the packages into one of these 
tags/repositories, e.g.:

* sclo7-common-rh-{candidate,testing,release} will contain all packages 
from collections devtoolset-3, mariadb55, php55, ...

* sclo7-common-sclo-{candidate,testing,release} will contain all 
packages from collections php55-extra, devtoolset-3-extra, erlang18, ...
