MeeGo already does ;-)

I doubt Ubuntu will do that within the next 10 years (hehe) but Mageia 
actually was/is thinking about this (and a rename would help them choose - 
using "the openSUSE Build Service" to build your distribution is weird but 
using the Open Build Service makes sense. I suspect that is also the reason 
why MeeGo calls OBS the open build service or just build service - it's easier 
for them to justify the use of it.
