The ebuild howto has been clear on this topic for quite a while:
"The fourth subsection of the package name is the Gentoo Linux-specific
revision number ({-r#}). This subsection, like the suffix, is also
optional. # is a non-zero positive integer; e.g., package-4.5.3-r3"

Recently dev-ruby/rubygems-1.1.0-r0 (explicit -r0 in ebuild name) was
commited to mainline gentoo-x86; as far as I know, this is in conflict
w/ long term practice of not explicitly specifying -r0 in the ebuild
name due to the implicit -r0 addition in comparison/atom matching.
At this point, said ebuild is the only one in the tree with an
explicit -r0 also, so I'm advocating having the -r0 dropped.
