uname -a default options

Hello List,

"uname -a" is currently mapping the -a option to „-mnrsv“, which results in something similar like

$ uname -a
FreeBSD lion.0xfce3.net <http://lion.0xfce3.net/> 12.0-STABLE FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE r350835 GENERIC  amd64

What would you think about reducing the option mapping for „-a“ to „-vmn“ , which would result in a less repetitive version string like the one below.

$ uname -vmn
lion.0xfce3.net <http://lion.0xfce3.net/> FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE r350835 GENERIC  amd64

Adapting this would be trivial, but before I hack something together, I would like to get some feedback if such a change would be welcomed?

Best regards,

Gordon
