From a user point of view, this could be the way the GNOME project wants to
market these images. From a libosinfo internal representation point of
view, I think this 'implementation detail' is significant enough for us to
represent them differently. Different base OS can also mean differences in
hardware supported by the image.

The live cd and these ostree images are very different things, let's
represent them _internally_ as different OSes (note that I haven't said
anything about the user-visible OS names).
