Usually yes, but I believe LOCALVERSION can be appended to KERNELRELEASE / UTS_RELEASE which can makes it much longer.

That's correct, it was not matching even when it was introduced. I am simply taking that as people caring about the content and not simply making rxrpc_version_string == UTS_RELEASE. The current format is:
"linux-" UTS_RELEASE " AF_RXRPC"
