I have seen third-party install scripts and such that parse that file
and look for "Fedora" to take actions/set variables/etc. for Fedora
Linux.  You can say "we don't support third-party anything", but it's
still going to cause issues for some users.

Is there any plan for the Fedora Project to make another full OS (that
would have a different value in os-release)?  Or is this just a
pre-emptive "we might someday"?
