Yes, exactly. The version number would just indicate the version of
-CURRENT that was used to introduce the symbol. If we would be going
down this road, then I have to further questions:

- Should we drop the .0 suffix then?
- Would it make sense to also name it to 'FreeBSD' instead of 'fBSD'?

That is, using 'FreeBSD_12' as the next symbol version.
