The only way I can read this argument that makes any sense to me is that you are arguing for a precise build-time OS string. If it is supposed to be an argument in favor of keeping 'linux3' it makes no sense, since '2' vs '3' is in no way a useful line of demarcation when it comes to linux.
So, if you think there is a *run time* need to know the precise *build time* OS version number, can you point to any specific use cases? |
