It sounds great, but i think that would be more easily comprehensible with version
numbers in README, especially for the ones who are not familiar with Linux kernel
very much. Meanwhile, does it make sense for a software without version number
in release file? On the other hand, it only need *one* patch to update the version
numbers in README every several years, i.e. about 8 years and 4 years for 3.x and
4.x, respectively.
