I think that string is fine as long as its just for yocto but I think
for OE-Core we are going to do a General release
so tagging that with something yocto project will be very confusing
unless we plan to do different releases of OE-Core for general
availability
and yocto project. I dont think we have bandwidth for that. And since
poky repository makes a copy of OE-Core metadata it can be tagged in
yoctoproject specific tags

since OE-Core is at center of all layers I would propose that other
layers when tagged contain OE-Core's release tag in their own tags
name

so something like <layer-tag>-<OE-Core-tag its targetting>

Lets keep it as we have it. Its quite generic.
