On the other hand it's very useful for software libraries to detect breaking change. Lately I've found that node 8.14 added header size restriction that produce bugs, where it would've been easier if they just push to v10 instead.
However talking about kernel maybe it isn't that much needed unless significant feature and breaking changes introduced.
