Public bug reported:

The Platform identification for Enterprise Linux changes based upon the
clone used.

For example CentOS is:

>>> platform.linux_distribution()
('CentOS Linux', '7.0.1406', 'Core')

And no doubt Scientific Linux, etc.  will be different again.

If it's not 'Fedora', then just checking whether /etc/redhat-release
exists should be enough to identify Enterprise Linux. Then check the
relevant major numbers.
