I personally dont need it for something specific.

1. We have such a thing for Fedora. In general it would be nice to
recognize future images, also given that distributions might not ship
the most recent version of libosinfo.
2. In case of openSUSE I'm confident that we can link the openSUSE
express installation script (patches will come in the next week or so)
to this generic future entry so people will be able to express install
a recent openSUSE ISO even if they use a libosinfo package from two
years ago. (I think thats the case with debian.)

I spoke with Richard Brown (in CC) from openSUSE who helped me
creating a JEOS installation script for openSUSE and he stated that
this would ease his work a bit, especially having the entry for the
factory images. Its not much work so I've done it.

Makes sense.
Thanks for the explanation.
