And probably always will be, since changing sysnames is a nasty
backward-incompatible change and people have already build infrastructure
on local interpretations or workarounds for the existing sysnames.
I suppose we could start setting a sysname list based on both the kernel
version and the glibc version by default, but I shudder to think of the
Autoconf glue.
