Yes, that's what we need. Can you make a formal proposal? Or is it a case of
"just add it"?

It's actually implemented differently. obs://foo:bar/baz is mapped by zypper to
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/foo:/bar/baz, based on the value of
[obs] baseUrl in zypper.conf.
obs://build.opensuse.org/foo:bar/baz is a different case yet again, which uses
a hardcoded URL in zypper...
It makes sense that this is read from the product by default, but it should be
possible to override that with configuration still.
So having that both in the product but overridable with zypper.conf is IMO the
best option.

I propose:

<obs>
  <default_repository_name>openSUSE_Tumbleweed</default_repository_name>
 
<default_download_url>https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/</default_download_url>
</obs>
