I see where you are coming from.  Yes that is a potential issue,
because ultimately that information is utsname information.  Given
that we don't allow any of that information to be changed currently
that isn't a 2.6.19 issue. 

Given that it is a don't care as long as we generate the same string
I don't see a problem with a patch to modify it, to track changes in
the current uts namespace.
