Following this logic, we should document:

#define VERSION "2.8-20080929-LFS-svn20081101-built-by-John-Doe"

since we can't control how it was really built.  It's for this reason,
lack of control of the build options, that we MUST not call LFS a
distro. (You'll say Gentoo isn't one either then, and I agree)

I, for one, am proud that LFS is not a distro, and not everyone uses the LFS bootscripts :)
