Comment (by jane):

 Why would you keep multiple versions of a theme on a live install? Themes
 should always be kept up to date for security reasons. I'm not closing
 this as wontfix because I want to see what others think, but for the end
 user, version numbers usually are not particularly meaningful since they
 just have one copy installed. A notice there on the theme screen when a
 theme had an available update, on the other hand, would be really helpful
 for end users.

 Do people think having multiple versions is more common that I've stated?
 If so, we can revisit. Otherwise, a developer-centric plugin to display
 version number by default would be my suggestion.
