Comment:

 5 years on from removing the version numbers, and I just can't see the
 need for a user to see the version number anymore.

 Theme authors giving updates as zips which are then uploaded with a new
 folder name have hopefully moved to automated updates now, and those who
 run multiple versions of the same theme should be far fewer.

 I'm marking this as `wontfix` as a result of the above.
