Thank you very much for this!

I wonder though, in this context, is it referring to the kernel (so we
should return "BSD" here) or userland traits (we are actually more like
(GNU/)"LINUX").

And while here, I would consider how to handle GNU/Hurd (to save
patching again someday for that).  If we decided to return "LINUX" here,
we might want to match on .contains("GNU") to be more generic.
