All software should have enough "branding" that it's not a big deal to include a frackin version string. The release should be branched in CVS, with its own branding applied, using easy-to-define and easy-to-include constants. If Drupal is PHP, there should be a define("DRUPAL_VERSION", "4.6.5") somewhere.

If Drupal is open-source, why don't you implement some basic branding and submit a patch? Submitting patches is cool.
