Team,
I would love to see /etc/os-release added to CentOS5 and CentOS6 as well. Keep up the good work!
But os-release is a systemd "feature"*. Seems unlikely to make it ?
Really? On my system it's a very simple text file included with the centos-release package. I honestly can't see how having sys-v-init or upstart would make it impossible or even remotely difficult to create such a text file and include it in CentOS 5 and 6.
I don't think it's possible to change all redhat-release usage anyway.
Well, fortunately it's not redhat-release, that's a package that comes with RHEL. CentOS comes with the package centos-release which is specific to CentOS and therefore we should be able to make changes to without worrying about upstream constraints.
