Comment (by pcfreak30):

 @knutsp I am against having the version in the readme.html at all. It is a
 security risk and I would delete the file but its added back every update.
 Its not good for the front end to ever expose a version number. To that
 effect, I would think removing it from the generators meta should be done
 too.
