I'm sure that there are a multitude of places where MODULE_VERSION is unnecessary, but killing it from the entire kernel simply won't happen. I know that in the SCSI subsystem some of the vendor-maintained drivers use this to keep track of exactly which version is running on a given kernel. (Why not use kernel releases? not sure, probably a combination of user-interface, distro backporting and internal systems.)
