 Replying to [comment:5 nacin]:
 > I was thinking about this talk, from August 2013:
 https://wpvip.com/2014/08/26/how-wordpress-evolves-full-transcript/. My
 theory appears plausible.

 Almost :)

 I spoke too soon, i had another draft to check - Your theory was correct:
 it was a paraphrased quote from a presentation - Slide 16 in the 2nd
 presentation here: https://wpvip.com/2013/07/09/andrew-nacin-scaling-
 wordpress-optimizing-security/

 > "The team consults with well-known and trusted security researchers and
 hosting companies." — Andrew Nacin, WordPress Lead Developer, in a
 presentation ‘WordPress.org & Optimizing Security for your WordPress
 sites,’ June 2013.
 > - http://vip.wordpress.com/security/

 I'm assuming it was a featured post on the VIP security page at the time.

 Looking at the draft history, the footnote 3 being attached to the version
 numbering looks like an accident, it seems it was added with the intention
 of linking to a page like https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about
 /release-cycle/version-numbering/ but not added/renumbered.
