There is the concept of distribution information in Neon. Discover has started to make use of it to notify users about EOL in their distro as well as to tell about the existance of newer versions. For neon we already have a mechanism that notifies about the latter, it would make sense to have the information so there's more than just another new version of your OS. $ appstreamcli os-info Unable to find operating system component 'org.kde.neon.neon'!
