That's nitpicking. Let me rephrase: With the previously cited version. a *machine* can start to use MACHINE_KERNEL_PR any time without breaking updates. The vast majority of module recipes do not use MACHINE_KERNEL_PR. That means that they use their own PR instead of appending something to MACHINE_KERNEL_PR, as suggested by you. Setting MACHINE_KERNEL_PR in the machine's configuration disables automatic rebuilds of 91% of module recipes.
