Anyway, here's what uname -r does for me right now: 2.2.5-STABLE-971118 Perhaps it would be better if it just said 2.2.5-971118. However, the date should somehow or other come with the sources and identify the build as based on sources as of a particular date (with time if necessary). At least that's how it seems to me.
