--- Comment #8 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt at FreeBSD.org> ---
I don't like the idea of adding /etc/os-release.

At the sametime I think the uname usage is very fragile considering it will
give your the version of the kernel not the version of the userland, while if
you run the code in a FreeBSD 11 jail running on a 13-CURRENT host the output
would be wrong (except if one forces some variable environment).

That said, having a package that installs /usr/local/etc/os-release in an
accurate manner would be pretty easy and can probably do the trick with the
cost of almost no patches or upstreamable patches (configurable path to
os-release).
