Comment (by dd32):

 I'm going to put a general request out there:

 > '''Please do not consider this a security ticket; It's not. It's a user-
 experience ticket.'''

 Showing version numbers is not a security risk and removing them does
 nothing to protect sites.
 You can read the rehashed topic in #23394 and make all the arguments
 there, this ticket is not the place.
