In my FOSDEM talk[1][2] I had to refer to things like gx86 as well, and tried
hard
to avoid using "gentoo-x86". Actually I've ended up with the term "tree" too.
In particular, I've used these names for various instances of an "ebuild-tree":
(ship as) (built from)
gentoo-tree = gentoo-tree
prefix-tree = gentoo-tree + prefix-overlay
lts-tree = clone(prefix-tree)
wlts-tree = lts-tree + wamas-overlay
Additionally, for Gentoo/Prefix the goal is to empty out the prefix-overlay,
so both Gentoo/Linux and Gentoo/Prefix should be feed by the "gentoo-tree" then.
However, as long as the name does fit such metadistro-derivation use-cases,
I don't care too much - for example I'd be fine with something like these:
for gentoo-tree: gentoo{,-core,-base,-main}-tree
or with namespace: gentoo/{core,base,main}-tree
for prefix-tree: gentoo-prefix-tree, gentoo/prefix-tree
and when derived by someone else (vendor=ssi):
for lts-tree: ssi{-lts,-core,-base,-main,-gentoo}-tree,
ssi-lts/{core,base,main,gentoo}-tree
for wlts-tree: ssi-wlts-tree, ssi/wlts-tree, ssi-lts/wamas-tree
Anyway, my favourite is "gentoo-tree".
