The multi-line BUILDINFO strings are truncated and folded to a single line by uname(3), which is unhelpful, so I am inclined to store them in a new kernel variable, exposed via a new sysctl node, instead of appending to the existing kernel version variable. Then the new information would not be exposed by uname(3) or uname(1). Comments? Sounds useful to me. Perhaps you could take the first line of BUILDINFO for uname, and expose the rest via sysctl kern.buildinfo?
