I saw this <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/15675> issue at GitHub where people requested to get Archlinux detection from /etc/os-release. It seems to be related to this. What's the best way to address this with the Ansible team? It's not a big issue but having no spaces in distribution or family name is a good practice.
Thanks for your help, it's nice to know the root of the 'problem'.
