Pretty much my reasoning as well.5.24e seems more appropriate as it is most "5e with TCOE and XGTE variants and a few tweaks and rebalancing."
The biggest change is that every PC gets a very weak feat at level 1.
We don't even know if the MM or DMG are getting any real changes outside of clarity and reorganization.
Is it closer to D&D 3.5e to PF1? Because people called that 3.75e so would this too be a "quarter edition"?
I went back and read the OP to this thread. Ultimately I think saying D&D or 5e is a distinction without a difference, 5e is a D&D reference. If you want something to distinguish SRD based creators from the trademark holders, reference the engine and not the game. Maybe something like d20a/d games.
