"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?
