 Hi

 I know there are plenty of plugins to hide WP version. You also decided to
 hide WP version from readme.html some time ago. When the user uses all
 possible methods to hide WP version, current version still can be checked
 by load-styles.php and load-scripts.php files. It is visible in eTag
 header.

 I know, this is not a big issue but I think is worth considering to use
 here some hash or checksum.


 Regards
 Dawid
