 Hi,

 We, wpvulndb.com, currently parse the following pages for the WordPress
 versions:

 https://wordpress.org/download/releases/
 https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Versions

 This is to ensure that we have a list of accurate WordPress versions from
 an official source.

 It is currently possible to parse the pages, however, it would be much
 easier if the version numbers were tagged with CSS classes, so that they
 could be trivially parsed.

 For example, currently it looks like so in the HTML:


 {{{
 <td>4.9.8</td>
 }}}


 My proposed change would be to add a CSS class for easy parsing:


 {{{
 <td class="version-number">4.9.8</td>
 }}}


 This would make it easier for others to keep accurate track of the
 official WordPress versions.

 Thanks,
 Ryan
