I do not see why it is useful.
As you discussed in 3/4, if UTS_RELEASE is unneeded,
it is better to get rid of it.

To be clear - the discussion on 3/4 was about the fact that netdev
already prints UTS_RELEASE into the version member of driver info
struct, as a default. So the drivers no longer have to. But there's 
no user-observable change there.
