We have a number of _related_ things -- /etc/system-release, and the RPM "vendor" tag. From the given use case, in fact, I think that the vendor tag is pretty close. I'm not quite sure what they want to _do_ with it though, even having read the debian bugs. What do _you_ want to do with it?
IMHO it's about selecting different features at package build time. As rpm supports macros, you would test some macro, e.g. %fedora_version or %_vendor.
