.. and what makes LKDTM so special?

IOW, what about ALL THE OTHER REPORTS?

And no, my argument is most definitely not "ok, everything should do this".

It's the reverse. The CI systems should be the ones that are fixed,
not random messages from random places in the kernel have version
information added.

A CI report that doesn't report the version of the kernel is kind of
fundamentally broken, wouldn't you agree?

The fix is not to add the kernel version string into every single
message you print out.
