If we call it .eln9.1.0, people are quite likely to skim over the 'n'
and confuse themselves into thinking it's a RHEL 9.1.0 package. That
way lies a support nightmare. We absolutely agree with your assessment
that the dist tag needs to be versioned (see my earlier mail), but we
want to disambiguate it so it doesn't look like a real RHEL package.
(I'm debating starting with a higher number like 100 so it doesn't get
confused with Fedora or RHEL versions that we're likely to see any day
soon.)

Have you considered using $YEAR or a combo of date units? Then $YEAR could be automatically inserted if $DIST == ELN.

Version: 1.0
Release: 1%{?dist}

Output: foobar-1.0-1.eln2020
