You are no doubt not in the slightest surprised to hear that I'm in
full agreement with you, hence my suggesting that the full kernel
source tarballs should have the version number in the tree and the
patch files should not.

However, Linus appears to believe that the hassle he no doubt already
gets as a result of his current system is less than the hassle he'd
get from making the change, and I have to assume he knows what he's
talking about, so as far as I'm concerned, there's no point in making
any further comment on the subject...

Best wishes from Riley.
