6.3 uname -a weirdness

Hello.

Due to the recent advisories, on an i386 6.3 box, i just did:

cd /usr/src
make update
make buildworld
make kernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
make installworld
shutdown -r now


Now "uname -a" reports 6.3p13, although "cat /usr/src/UPDATING" gives:

...
20091203:       p14     FreeBSD-SA-09:15.ssl, 
FreeBSD-SA-09:17.freebsd-update
         Disable SSL renegotiation in order to protect against a serious
         protocol flaw. [09:15]

         Fix permissions in freebsd-update in order to prevent leakage of
         sensitive files. [09:17]
...



I think the above does not affect the kernel; in fact I recompiled it 
just to be able to check the OS version with uname.
Just curious on whether this is normal...

  bye & Thanks
	av.
