This problem is the case where you just want to rebrand, not including
other packages or doing anything non-Fedora. For example, live spins
that have not been approved by the Board yet, will want to:
%packages
-fedora-logos
+generic-logos
%end
and the machine booting the live media would still show "Welcome to
Fedora". Can one safely do:
%post
sed -i -e "s/Fedora/Generic/g" /etc/fedora-release
%end
?
