But why do you want the code to adapt - most things should be the same on both, and with Nevada and OpenSolaris converging in the future, (or Nevada going away and being replaced by OpenSolaris depending on your point of view), there should eventually be no differences at all.
I agree this is short term.
What exactly is it going to do differently with this information? If it's a specific functionality, why not test for that functionality instead of assuming you know which derivative is which, and then breaking when someone makes a new extrusion/distribution which doesn't match your assumptions?
I agree code should make choices based on the functionality available. This is best practice. But, sometimes it's important to know which os you are working on, especially for headless systems. The os can affect your configuration approach.
