That's also why this commit removes scripts/ver_linux as well: the
details it collects are only needed in some situations. And some (a
lot?) distributions do not ship it anyway; a better, more modern script
would likely resist in tools/, which would increase chances that distros
shipping it as part of packages like "linux-tools".

times this year, so somebody is paying attention.

Ugh, why haven't I checked for this? Argh :-/

Probably safest to just leave it there.

Agreed, thx for pointing it out.

Ciao, Thorsten
