Hmm. A random idea here, and not quite related to what you're talking
about: A /proc/version file that contains version information for each
type of file, something like: 

 filesystems 1.0
 kcore 1.0
 net/ 1.0
 net/arp 1.0

etc.

Or maybe that should be a /proc/versions/ directory which mimics the exact
structure of the /proc directory except that every file only contains the
version number of the code that is providing that file.
