I guess this settles whether the FreeBSD ports/pkgng should stay in ?
It doesn't have os-release, and having systemd seems very unlikely...

	"Porting systemd to other kernel is not feasible."

Or is it OK to have a distro_id of NULL, if you don't have a distro ?
Think it (BSD) was the main/only user of pk_get_distro_id_os_release ()

Very Linux specific, to pretend that the distribution is an operating system.


Distro is fine, but then PackageKit should say so (required kernel is Linux) ?

Probably not a big loss to it, since FreeBSD already has AppCafe(R) available...
But any future users of GNOME 3 would lack the PackageKit functionality there.
