Description
We have a configuration builder at bin/config_build.py that was historically used to auto-generate a custom supported_distros.py rather than relying upon manual edits.
This script is supposed to scour the distro_data/data_files/ directory and generate the file based on what it finds there, but it's not functional at the moment.
We need to:
- Determine whether we want to keep this script
- If so, figure out how to fix it

Research direction
Start by reading bin/config_build.py and inspecting the files under distro_data/data_files/ alongside the generated supported_distros.py. Determine whether the script is still needed and document that decision; if it is retained, done means it successfully generates the expected supported_distros.py from the data files.
