Do you have issue with reporting the version via printk, or just
-having- versioning?

If the former, its a useful debug and troubleshooting tool, and the
overhead is minimal.  There are other ways to get at the info (modinfo)
but displaying the version information via printk it is used by other
components in the kernel.
