Servers should show which fork they are running
Kind of a crucial part of any custom game hub. Right now you have to communicate it in the title, and outside of extreme examples like "robust sand" it's hard to tell if servers are running custom content or not.
and, imo, this is a bit different from tags since we'll probably end up with a bunch of servers running the same fork/'game' but with different rules, cvar setups, etc.
Similar hubs for custom games analogous to SS14.Launcher we can look at also seperate those out
This would also be good from a security standpoint - as far as I can tell, it shouldn't be hard to hide a malicious payload into the executable. Making sure a server can't just lie about its fork through signatures and public key trust or trusting certain download urls and notifying the user of risks involved if a server provides an untrusted executable would certainly improve security.

everything on the launcher is sandboxed with ilverify, this isnt really a security concern
I see, thanks for clarification. I had made the incorrect assumption that it is run directly.
I think this should still be exposed a bit more not to average end users but when we get configurable filters for powerusers, and for statistics sites like https://ss14.qtqt.cf/
