'uname -s' gives 'NetBSD' (is that even correct?)
Language can be so tricky. In the sense of being a "legal"
argument to 'uname,' 's' is correct (it's listed in uname's
manpage synopsis), but I meant to type 'uname -a' so that the
version number would print..
I dont like to merely state "NetBSD-HEAD" that could be the
latest release from yesterday. The dates matter. It was a
release from today (19 Novemver 2021)
Perhaps someone with knowledge of the matter -- I don't fit that
description -- will help us out, but I don't think of 'HEAD" as
a "release.' I think of HEAD as synonymous with 'current,' and
reserve the term 'release' for sets of files officially titled
using that word.
Yes, I'm like this at home; just ask my wife.

Thank you.
