Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment:

Having the major version in sys.platform only for a few selected platforms 
doesn't seem too consistent for me.

If linux 4 will introduce major changes, will we have to look for the major 
version of freebsd in sys.platform and for the linux major version elsewhere?

That said, removing the major version for the other platforms might introduce 
unnecessary breakage, but if it's ever going to happen, I think it's better to 
do it now for all the platforms and not waiting for the experts to speak and 
change it in later versions, adding even more inconsistency.
