Yes. If you compile a random development kernel, you'd better then not
come and whine to developers about how you can't tell which version it is.
Especially when we do have things like CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO exactly
for this case.

But it's possible that people really just weren't aware of that whole
LOCALVERSION_AUTO thing.
