We're not (ultimately, at least), just talking about a list of
packages. It is like a sub-version of the operating system. A
"flavor", perhaps. Using a different ID and ID_LIKE=fedora seems a)
far too heavy and b) expressive of a much larger difference.
Well, given that the standard doesn't *really* have this level of
nuance, I'm inclined to agree with this approach.
So we'd have
ID=fedora-cloud
ID_LIKE=fedora
and so on. It doesn't really seem likely to cause too much confusion,
IMHO.
I *do* like that you're planning to move this to /usr/lib. It
never
made sense to me as _configuration_.
Agreed
