What we have now is misleading. People should recompile. It is rather
rare to see security advisory which bumps only patch level and something
that doesn't require recompilation (eg. a shell script). Current
behaviour would make people think they are running latest patch level
because freebsd-version says so, eventhough they only did 'make
installworld' without rebuilding affected binaries.
