I'm all for rephrasing the texts to not mention "kernel" explicitly. As for how to tackle the KERNELVERSION symbol - I have no strong opinion either way. Both approaches would move the knowledge about the exact symbol name to the Kconfig files, which is good. And the version string is only used in titlebars and banners, so kconfig does not need to know the value. I'd leave it up to Arnaud, whichever he finds easier to implement :-).
