I had the same opinion.  As we migrated the redhat/ over directly from RHEL,
it is very much polluted with RHELisms.  I am happy to clean up the
RHELisms, I would like to use a generic term that covers
Fedora/CentOS-stream/RHEL/ARK.

I had thoughts of using 'distro' and using that as a generic framework to
push upstream for other distros to plug into, but I never fully flushed out
that idea (ie s/redhat\//distro\//;s/rh-/distro-/).

Though 'distro' is a tad cumbersome.  'os' may work as it is short enough
(using Prarit's suggestion) but is it intuitively descriptive enough?

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Don
