Thank you very much for that informative reply -- that clarifies the Ubuntu uname situation immensely. I do wonder why RHEL/CentOS (and possibly other distros) behave differently, but this isn't an appropriate discussion venue for that. I would question why Ubuntu doesn't follow suit, but your reasoning based on the information above is sound enough for me.
