Please look at the history of the os-release file. The os-release file format exists for 8 years and has not changed in 8 years.
It seems like you are referring to /etc/*release files. I agree that these files are causing a lot of maintenance troubles, and... that's exactly why os-release file has been standardized and created.
So I don't get your point. |
