True, that sort of works the way I'd expect it to, except that putting this in a name field is a bit weird. The name can be used sometimes to address the repo e.g. from zypper command lines (interchangeably with the alias, slightly confusing) which makes the solution a bit unclean. In any case, given this, I still think a separate annotation field would be nicer but I would also be ok with closing the bug WONTFIX.
