I get late on the discusion but agree with the variant or family logic, good point.

I would rather use for "clone". Clone sort of implies that one vendor
came out with their radio first and then it was copied by another.

But what happens here is we add support for a radio to CHIRP. Then as
time goes by we come across another radio that happens to program
exactly the same way. Because it got to us 2nd (or 3rd and so on), we
call it a clone of the first radio.

Sure, variant or family sounds fine to me. Excellent point about the
relative ordering of the CHIRP driver vs. actual release :)
