At least in Haiku's case the revision numbers are even built into the Haiku
image. And in Trac they are undeniably very handy as references. Something
like "this bug was introduced somewhere between r23415 and r23890" sounds
significantly more helpful than the hash alternative.
When Haiku starts with releases, maybe bugs will be reported mainly for
release versions, but until then I think it really is advantageous to have
the revision numbers.
