Once you stop to update version, you will push users to look on the real version (kernel) which really matters.
I would have understood if you say "let us use a magic value like 'in-tree' or 'linux'" but setting it to an old (existing) version number - I don't want to live with the headaches it creates. Because this is what users often don't (want) to understand: if it looks like a valid version number, why isn't it the valid version number? So I have to do a lot of pushing - without any rewards because it is necessary to push every new "user".
I'm not sharing your view about users and think they need to be educated, even it is hard and non-rewarding job.
Thanks
