I won't be opposed against this, but there doesn't seem to be any policy that would require explicit -r0 in dependency specifications. So this is a policy change which should be discussed in gentoo-dev before it can be added to repoman. Also according to PMS, no revision and -r0 (and even -r00) are completely equivalent. so IMHO we should think twice before introducing behaviour that would treat them differently in some places.
