Looking at the lockfile format I can see a repeating pattern of:
```
- url: https://someurl
repoid: foo
- url: https://someotherurl
repoid: foo
- url: https://anotherurl
repoid: bar
```
IOW any tool which wants to process this has to analyze every single package to
categorize it under some repository (optionally denoted by repoid), so if
repoid isn't provided such a tool is free to choose how to group uncategorized
packages (assigning them to 1 or multiple repos). Wouldn't it be better if we
simplified such a tool's job by explicitly hinting at which repo what packages
belong? I mean in my mind that would match the current `.repo` file format
better. Consider the following example of what I just wrote:
```
lockfileVersion: 1
arches:
- arch: x86_64
repos:
- repoid: updates
rpms:
- url:
https://mirrors.nic.cz/pub/fedora/linux/updates/38/Everything/x86_64/Packages/v/vim-enhanced-9.1.031-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm

# A SINGLE SINK REPO FOR THE REST PACKAGES NOT BELONGING TO A SPECIFIC REPO
- rpms:
- url: http://example.com/foo.x86_64.rpm
- url: http://example.com/bar.x86_64.rpm
```
