FWIW, just in case anyone is curious, I filed a bug report against Google Chrome to drop the dependency on redhat-lsb package since it is a meta package for a while and pulls in a long list of dependencies and the only reason afaik for this dependency is to read the distribution name and version. os-release provides a standard location and format for this information these days but it is confusing to have the system behave differently from how the documentation says it should be setup and I requested the change and it has been subsequently made (not by me). I also independently filed a bug report to deprecate the distro specific file but FESCo has rejected that. I don't believe that having this information in multiple places is a good way to maintain a distribution and we should strive to move to a single canonical location. I don't see a reason not to add some documentation providing an advance notice of this but whatever. Rahul
