            Bug ID: 276763
           Summary: motd: remove adding/executing "uname -v" output
                    dynamically
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org

Prepending a processed version of "uname -v" creates several problems:

* The message isn't static, if you need dynamic you can go with
https://github.com/sstallion/dynamic_motd
* It does not add a huge value/benefit because the default motd says "Show the
version of FreeBSD installed:  freebsd-version ; uname -a" and when done it can
lead to the next point
* The most important issue with it is that the output is not always correct and
can confuse users. See https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille/issues/393. If
you run in a jail which is not the exactly the same version as the jailhost you
see incorrect information.

Ideally, instead of showing possibly incorrect information we should only show
correct static information.
