It is hardcoded, however it would be trivial to delete it in a shell function 
added to ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND e.g. in the image recipe (or a class 
inherited from the image recipe):


remove_etc_version () {
	rm ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}${sysconfdir}/version
}
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "remove_etc_version ; "


Cheers,
Paul
