I think the KernelVersion is when it first appeared. I would leave it as
it is and instead extend the description

  		Shows the current state of the controller. Possible values:
 		"new", "live", "resetting", "connecting", "deleting",
 		"deleting (no IO)", "dead".
        v7.5 introduced additionally:
        "fencing", "fenced"

Obviously, this is not idea. If someone starts to complain we might have
to filter out these two new states.
