We talked about this before, but I think now it's getting really close to the time when we _need_ it. See <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110764>... as Dennis says, we have not yet decided how to differentiate the different Fedora products. I suggest that we have fedora-release-{workstation,server,cloud} packages. I had originally suggested these as subpackages of fedora-release, but I think that it might actually be better to have them be separate packages, so they can be maintained and released individually. These packages could have dependencies on other packages which are essential to that product's identity (like ye olde dreaded "redhat-lsb", I suppose), and could either contain systemd presets appropriate for that product -- or perhaps better, could depend on another (for example) fedora-presets-server package. Aslo, each workgroup should be able to set what services are started in those presets rather than needing a FESCo exception (because that's part of the point of the different WGs, after all). Right now, all of the packages are drawing from the same repos, but this would also provide an avenue for doing that differently in the future if we so choose. I also suggest that /etc/os-release be switched using the alternatives system (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives), with the variant in either the VERSION field (VERSION="21 (Cloud)") or a new os-release field which we would propose -- probably VARIANT. I suppose /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net would also be candidates for alternatives. Comments? Missing pieces? Better ways to do it?
