How long ago did OpenSuSE start including /etc/os-release? My concern is if 
someone did happen to run on an older OpenSuSE release and then submit a bug 
report with an attached log, we'd rather see the actual version rather than 
"Unknown". If that's a possible scenario, we might want to just swap the 
blocks around so that /etc/os-release is looked for first.

Cheers,
Paul
