CONFIG_MODVERSIONS as currently implemented is ugly as hell but it is an _absolutely necessary_ feature at least if you have externally compiled modules.
It would have spared me (and surely the developers of ALSA, ftape, lm-sensors, etc. too) a pile of bug reports if MODVERSIONS were mandatory. Cheap shot at "forgot to make dep":

That's ugly too but it is what I end up recommending to do manually anyway.
