Awesome!

So I had a look into the history of the osinfo-defaults.properties and the "6" used to be "Other":
# Other(6, OsType.Other, false)
os.Other.id.value = 6
os.Other.name.value = Other
os.Other.derivedFrom.value = Unassigned 

and it disappeared in this patch:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/16679/11

@Roy:
Any reason this has been removed?
