there is also the other side of the coin, that of user-land apps that parse the
output of uname to handle things in different ways. It may not be the best way
to do things , but it's done quite a bit. Of course, this is be irrelevant if
you plan to have a completely locked up OS ....
And there is also all the other software that is bundled in base, openssh, comes
to mind:
$ nc -v localhost 22
Connection to localhost 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110
....
and man pages, and doc,
