Having been involved with various things around kernel pkgs from Fedora
(including kmods as used in RPM Fusion): It would make a lot of scripts
I used or used a whole lot easier if the stock kernel would have a
flavor, too. So I'm all for giving it a name. Ubuntu, btw, calls the
standard kernel "generic".
