Speaking of annoying uname habits... Any chance we could add the
-p option like SVR4 has so one can get the architecture type?
i.e. x86, m68k, sparc, ppc, mips... Not POSIX.2 but damn useful
to know when you are a site with a unified home directory
structure with multiple machines of N different architecture types,
i.e. setting bin paths and such is a pain on a per host basis.
