Kernel 3.0.2 upgrade (uname question)

I update my arch (pacman -Syu) and have new kernel 3.0.2

But why "cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease" says: 3.0-ARCH?
Why not 3.0.2-ARCH?

Re: Kernel 3.0.2 upgrade (uname question)

the same reason that we had all along for years. users and developers don't have to recompile external modules for each bug fix release.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
