"Think" for a moment there, grasshopper. Why would a system state that its kernel version is 5.0-CURRENT 6 years after the time HEAD was the same as 5.0-CURRENT. The obvious answer is that it has been running without problems all this time and its kernel was *NEVER* recompiled since back then. Now, does it all make more sense? Can we also, please, drop this pointless thread, because it is already far too off-topic for this particular mailing list? - Giorgos
