VSIDO should be 'VSISO 1.2' in pretty name, the pretty name field is supposed to be the sort of full display name, might point that out to the vsido guys.

www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html

basically what PRETTY_NAME contains should be more or less what the old single distro file, like /etc/redhat-release had, the full distro id, ie, the full pretty name, not for technical id purposes, but for for output.

In inxi, for example, if os-release exists and no distro file does, then it will use the contents of PRETTY_NAME as first option, and if that's null, it will construct the full string out of the other fields.
