I think the problem with that is that then any forks would need to
include the fedora-release source RPM, and the goal of generic-release
(and the overall concept of having multiple providers of system-release
and system-logos) is to make that not necessary.
Would it make sense to change the way the src.rpms are built and with generic-release being the 'parent' of fedora-release so that system-wide changes happen in both that way. Maybe something like a parent 'project' which has a template set of jinja (or whatever the cool one is these days) and then changes get made, a make is made, and several src tar balls are generated which can each be their own package versus a sub-package.
Does that make sense?
