I meant not from you specifically, but generically :-)

Nah, no need. There's --with-product-flavor as configure switch.

But I don't think we should do it if upstream wants it that way.

Michael made clear in that IRC chat that any distro[1] should use
"Personal edition".

>> "Community edition" which Michael didn't want.

Yeah, I know, and people also said that in the blog/bugzilla, but it's
at least better than "Personal edition".
