I think that we shouldn't use "<" or ">" for linux.osrelease. We
should state some numbers that are supported by FreeBSD. (Which
numbers should decide those who do the kernel job and know better). If
users what to experiment with other linux.osrelease numbers they
should help themself -- we are lack of resources for that task, imo.
