Is there some explanation besides an opinion? Some kind goal which you want to
achieve with it maybe?
At least for us it was an easy way to query the release cycle information via
batctl. Which made it easier for us to roughly figure out what an reporter/
inquirer was using - independent of whether he is using the in-kernel version
or a backported version.
Loosing this source of information and breaking parts of batctl and other
tools (respondd, ...) is not the end of the world. But I would at least know
why this is now necessary.
Kind regards,
