I think it's something that is decide at SIG level, we use for %dist
.el7 for Cloud SIG.
Though our primary target is CentOS, our packages are consumable by
all EL variants.

Moreover, I don't see the point of encoding origin in dist tag when
it's done (in a better fashion) at yum database level,
but that's a matter of taste.
