@techee AFAICT its not actually in the API, the documentation message is not a doxygen comment and the function isn't marked GEANY_API_SYMBOL.

No, but it has an API version in the @since tag, which doesn't make much sense.

In theory a plugin might use the info, but given the variability (and as @frlan showed the fact that derived distros may show as the base distro) its probably not much use to a plugin.

Also, I don't see why a plugin would need that info if it's not an actual mean of identifying the platform (and even then, it's probably not a good metric to do anything). As is it's really meant as a human-readable clue rather than something formal. So ATM I don't see any reason for it to make it to plugin API anytime soon.
