 In my staging environment (I am testing 4.7.3), I see no place that says
 more than 4.7 in the view-source of the front page. This presents a
 enterprise problem as I need to be able to show that I have performed the
 upgrade from 4.7.2 to 4.7.3. I just need to be able to expose the full
 version number to be able to allay security concerns.
