Is there a technical reason why the field should only have the version number instead of the full string? And they should not need to track the product: the version is per component. So please fix this page https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Write_a_version_string (or I can do it) to describe the current status and ask for feedback if you want to change it without deciding for everyone. According the current usage, only the version number is used and needed, with the exception sometimes of applications part of KDE Applications, where some authors decide to use "x.y.z (KDE Applications some.thin.g)". In general using the version number only does not require looking for the version of the product.
