The wiki page https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SUSE_and_openSUSE_Products_Version_Outputs has some content about os-release. It needs some cleanup and it would probably be a good idea to put some simple(!) shell code there that does the job of parsing ID_LIKE in a sufficient way.
This wiki page is not in the first 20 results when I search for /etc/SuSE- release on google. To more prominently mention /etc/SuSE-release on the wiki so that people encountering problems with the removal of the file are more likely to find information about it, I created https://en.opensuse.org/ Etc_SuSE-release . Note there's also a page https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Find_openSUSE_version Still, there is the issue of software that fails silently or with no useful error message because of the removed file.
