Agree with in Rawhide. What about:

* change VERSION to just "23",
* PRETTY_NAME to "Fedora $VERSION"

and update places which use $PRETTY_NAME to use "$PRETTY NAME
($VARIANT)" instead if appropriate? (Because in some cases the
non-specific pretty name might be more appropriate.)

I guess PRETTY_NAME="Fedora $VERSION ($VARIANT)" would also be okay,
but I'm imagining there might be some cases where having it separate
might be useful. (Maybe not.)

Also, Stephen, a question — should spins set VARIANT and VARIENT_ID?
