Comment (by MadtownLems):

 The long-term plan to de-emphasize version numbers in favor of background
 updates is well and good, but that doesn't mean there isn't a very valid
 desire from many of us to have easy access to this information in the
 footer.  That being said, I do completely understand the intent behind NOT
 showing them.

 What if you only show the current version number if Automatic Upgrades are
 disabled? I think this shows the information to people who need it most,
 and hides it from those who it doesn't matter as much for.
