And the value of this is?


We have already run into situations where one distro has multiple different kernel versions (the grossest comparison: 2.4 vs. 2.6). This can cause problems, for example, with packages that use threads.

Then $(uname -r) is usable, but hardly ideal. Better may be proper requirements specification...

linux_distro:
    redhat (for 8.0, 9)
    fedora


I like "fc"


Longer is better, IMHO.  :-)

    suse
    debian
    mandrake (for <= 10.1)
    mandriva (for >= 10.2 -- or whenever the name change occurred)
    ...what should it be for the RH EL family?


I like "redhat"


If we no longer support RH 9, then this is fine.

I don't see any issue with that, "9" ne "3el", and the two are closely related.
