Hello,

it would be very informative to state very clearly on the web site which 
kernel releases the distributions include.

Of course, by browsing and searching it is possible to obtain this 
information, but a more immediate statement would be welcome, I think.

Have a nice time.

Even if it sounded like a good idea ten years ago, the fact that nobody
cared to add this information in the mean time sounds like it wasn’t
such a good idea after all.

The release notes, and especially the “What’s new” section [0], offers
this information pretty prominently as well as other version information
that may be more important to end users than the version of the “engine”
their distribution is running on.

	0: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new#newdistro

Furthermore, with kfreeBSD, the kernel version is relative to the
“architecture” one is running, and the release notes can offer a
different content depending on the architecture (until now, nobody
actually cared to review properly the release notes for kfreeBSD yet
TTBOMK, just mentioning here that’s possible and preferable).

Regards

David
