I am curious if my /etc/os-release is odd:
# VERSION="20160913" ID=opensuse ID_LIKE="suse" VERSION_ID="20160913" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" ANSI_COLOR="0;32" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20160913" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org" HOME_URL="https://www.opensuse.org/"
Should the VERSION line be commented as shown above? Or has something odd happened to my file?
That's correct... VERSION is added merely for 'your reference' but not used to interpret by tools (hence commented) This is totally fine and no reason to worry (also, VERSION is expliitly mentioned in the specs that it's not mandatory and can be skipped, especially in the context of rolling distributions).
