I'm all for something like that, though because the names are not
encoded to any particular standard ours should be in /etc/upgrade/
somewhere.
Someone mentioned /etc/uname... not sure if that's encoded to any
general standard either but it's worth researching. The 'uname'
program is the only thing that's actually standardized across platforms.

'/uname' may also be less likely to be affected by the unexpected - e.g.
someone *elses* idea - even an inconsiderate application - attempting to
utilize ~/upgrade
Nice byproduct if so formatted that the 'uname' utility - or an enhanced
one - JFW w/r showing the relevant info when asked by humans as well as
the build tools...
