NO.
The decision to have a separated repo for tainted software is not up for
debate... It has already been discussed and decided long ago.
as for the question that started this thread:
"Repository question: where do we put non-free+tainted RPMs?"
It's simple, and even outlined in the mirrors_policy:
<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy</A>
If there is a package that otherwise matches core or nonfree repos,
but has a possible patent issue it ends up in tainted.
As for splitting up tainted in tainted-core/tainted-nonfree,
I dont think it's really worth it, and no-one really argued
for it when we discussed the mirror layout...
