Hi all,
What would people think of a patch that made stdenv's uname return the
same value on every linux? I've only just had the idea and haven't had
time to think through the possible downsides, but my initial thought is
that most packages shouldn't need to know the kernel version, and that

would change the behaviour that users expect from it.
We already have distinct bash in stdenv and user's environment.
How so?
As I remember,
Anyway, this would be breaking a feature of uname, namely that ‘uname -r’
returns the kernel version. Users would find it very surprising if they're
running a X.Y kernel and uname returns something different than X.Y.
Actually, maybe it is not worth the effort to have two unames - my
point is
