For what it's worth I think this makes sense. By framing ostree naming
as something analogous to yum repositories or docker hub registry
entries I think it makes sense to follow the "unix names" style in
some respect. What this will look like within the release tooling, I
don't know the details of just yet, but I think from an user
perspective the name change is a logical choice.
