I also suggest that /etc/os-release be switched using the alternatives
system (
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives), with the
variant in either the VERSION field (VERSION="21 (Cloud)") or a new
os-release field which we would propose -- probably VARIANT.
I suppose /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net would also be candidates for
alternatives.
I would like to hear what Lennart Poettering and other systemd folks
have to say about /etc/os-release handling in the light of the stateless
systems blog post from yesterday:

Volunteers to implement?
I can take care of creating the release package for the Workstation product.
