Yes, I'm aware of that, but the discussion is about what does the 
latest version of uname, which is 2.0.12, report on various 
distributions.  We're trying to determine what each distro reports as 
the "--operating-system" name.

My guess is, and this is without looking at the code, that if the 
distro has not customized uname in any way, uname will report the 
most generic possible answer if it can make any such determination, 
or report 'unknown'.
