Description

An Operating System with multiple friendly names can get a bit confused when managed under foreman.

For example: currently CentOS Stream is sometimes detected and imported as "CentOS_Stream" and sometimes as "CentOS" depending on how the content was found. This can be particularly confusing if you've also manually created at "CentOS Stream" Operating System. Having a clear way to say "All these are the same thing" vs the current model where you can add a single Description, would be helpful.

This could also be useful for the Ubuntu folks as their releases are know by their numeric id, adjective noun name, or just their adjective. To look far back in time, it would be handy to have a clear way to say "Ubuntu 06.06" is the same as "Ubuntu Dapper Drake" and is also the same as "Ubuntu Dapper".
