I suspect on a 4.x system, you'll get "4.x-AAAA"
where AAAA is either FreeBSD or STABLE. To distinguish
between 4.x and 5.x, all we need the first character.
So, uname -r shows 4.7-FreeBSD for the security branch?
If someone intends to be running the security branch, isn't it
just as much of an error if they mistakenly install the 4-stable
branch when they didn't want that? I think we have to check
more than the first character.
Note that I'm also thinking about cases were people are doing
buildworlds on one machine, and then NFS-exporting that to do
installworlds on other machines. I don't do that, but we might
as well try to help as many people as possible with a change
like this. I'm not saying that I know what that *is*, just that
I'm trying to toss out a variety of ideas... :-)
