 I'm afraid this fails because the version strings in the comment
 at the line is used as uname(3)'s version ("osrelease[] in the kernel)
 by sys/conf/osrelease.sh and sys/conf/newvers.sh.
 
 On the other hand osrelease.sh also claims:
 
  https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/conf/osrelease.sh?r=1.122#39
 >> # Search for line
 >> # #define __NetBSD_Version__ <ver_num> /* NetBSD <ver_text> */
 >> #
 >> # <ver_num> and <ver_text> should match!
 
 Is there any document how __NetBSD__ in param.h should be updated,
 especially for release branches?
