We could easily do this as well, if that was desired, but that should be a separate change. I'd slightly prefer to do that in Rawhide for F23 and not on F22, just on the off-chance that anyone is actually doing anything with PRETTY_NAME, which has been a standard value for a long time.

But yeah, that would probably be nice to do for F23.
