Comment (by Presskopp):

 In case the files are not writable, and we skip them to keep the update
 running, it would lead to

 1) empty or stupid readme.html and/or license.txt (or similar in different
 language)
 (because user write-protected them for security-reasons or whatever)

 OR

 2) outdated readme.html and/or license.txt (they are genuine, but old)

 So why not drop the version number then, see #23394 ?
