Parsing /etc/release always feels incredibly fragile to me, but I guess 
these distributions don't provide a better way to identify themselves, 
so the approach is probably ok for now.

However this section should really have the ability to cache 
NATIVE_OS_VARIANT and NATIVE_LOWER_VARIANT_VERSION if you don't want 
performance to suck, especially for bulk scans.
