Since EPEL is the new kid in town and distrotag and repotag have been 
used since too long,
I think EPEL should use repotag, as every repo has done for years.

If EPEL want to solve the problem you are explaining, then EPEL should 
talk with
every repo and find a global and elegant solution.(if there is one and 
if there is the need for one)

Meanwhile, EPEL should play nice and follow the current and implemented 
rules that says:
just use a repotag!
(It just make your filename 2 to 4 letters longer!)

My point of view ...
