I stumbled upon a newer lsb_release than the one that's currently in

Not
sure if it's book material.

Well we have lfs-release and not os-release now. I'm not sure what
this
fork adds. Right now it only copies a couple of files.
Do you have any insight?
/etc/os-release is used by systemd to identify the distro. This version
still uses /etc/lsb-release, and is newer than the one currently in the
book. Besides that, I have no arguments on why it should be updated,
hence
why I posted here first.
OK, thanks. Perhaps we should just add a symlink from lsb-release to
os-release. Or is that from lfs-release to os-release?
As an aside, why should systemd do different things for different
distros? Isn't that the distro's job?

The systemd book creates /etc/os-release (at 9.1 The End)
