Looks like a pretty old request, too… if I may ask, is this a complicated technical change, or is it just lower priority than other open issues? Seems like if it was an easy change to make, it would be a big win for users…

Nothing is easy as it looks (Murphy's law)  ;-)

There are cons and pros for moving the ISO (and the export domain) it to become a regular data domain (vs. the complete opposite - just making it a regular directory, not a domain or anything).
- It definitely will require (better) management tools (compared to the basic ISO uploader and being able to easily rename & delete ISOs in the ISO domain). 
- It will provide better performance in some cases (does it matter for the ISO domain? Not sure).
- It may relieve the need for NFS altogether (if you are using some other storage technology)
- It will make sharing the domain more difficult across (put your favorite item here - data centers, products, continents...)
- It will simplify the code in some areas.

Seems like there should be an easier way to consume an
external existing repository.

Indeed, and we have an RFE for that:
