Unfortunately not necessarily.. If they do a 'sup; make all; make install'
every day from may through july, the date on send-pr will never change -
it'll still say it's a may release, even though it's totally july-vintage
code they're running.
Hence, my suggested change to send-pr, so that it uses the installed
version of uname at run time, not the time of the first make. (make all
will never change the RELEASE!= entry in an otherwise up-to-date send-pr
in the build area).
