I must admit that /etc/redhat-release is not really a config file, yet
this is the only way I have found to identify a redhat release. I was told
to expect a "release" in that file all the time.

Maybe it is time for a real release signature such as
/etc/linux-release:

        #!/bin/sh
        RELEASE=5.1
        VENDOR="RedHat ..."

and so on.

For sure, very few package would care...
