uname -a on GNU/Linux

Hello!

On GNU/Linux, uname -a prints something like this:

 Linux aragorn 2.2.22 #1 dt oct 22 08:58:17 CEST 2002 i586 unknown unknown 
GNU/Linux

which is equivalent to uname -snrvmpio

This gives more relevance to the kernel (-s), printed first, than to the
operating system (-o), printed last.

What would you think about changing the order to make it equivalent to
uname -onrvmpis, so it looks like this?

 GNU/Linux aragorn 2.2.22 #1 dt oct 22 08:58:17 CEST 2002 i586 unknown unknown 
Linux

thanks,
