Sometimes packages are ported from future versions of Fedora without
OLPC modification, and sometimes I throw in current-Fedora packages
verbatim when the updates pushes are delayed, so I don't think we
should always require the .olpc tag (it should only be used when we
actually customise something). The yum db does track which package
came from which repo anyway. A one-off complaint would be good (an old
incarnation of the system actually sent email complaints on various
conditions IIRC) in that case though.

I do agree that it should be defined as a convention and documented,
so I just wrote it up here:

I also like the suggestion of requiring a SRPM but have too much to be
working on right now. So, patches accepted :) Implementation details
are on the above wiki page.
