Huh. /etc/os-release has been available since RHEL/CentOS 7 in 2014!
It's been available on all major OS families except RHEL since 2012. I'm pretty sure the inability to have os-release backported to RHEL/CentOS 6 stopped Puppet from removing lsb_release as a core dependency. It was even backported to SUSE Linux Enterprise 11!
