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.
