Comment (by walters):

 This is a bit of a complex topic as some of the metadata in that tag name
 *is* useful.  Officially the Docker hub only supports x86_64, but down the
 line we will want things like architecture metadata inside the image.
 Some of this is being addressed upstream, other parts are in
 https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/9882

 But currently, the name sticks out like a sore thumb:

 # Images and versions from the Hub and registry.access.redhat.com:
 rhel7 0-23
 rhel7 latest
 fedora 21
 centos 7

 # The Fedora Koji generated one:
 Fedora-Docker-Base-22-20150316.x86_64 latest


 Now, a lot of this gets to the tricky issue of versioning.  If you look at
 what Ubuntu is doing with tags, they inject the date stamp:
 https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/

 We could do something similar - in addition, we want "fedora:22" to be
 tagged into the hub for the latest version for each stream.  I'll do a bit
 more investigation here.
