 I disagree, the version of WordPress is still shown in the bottom right
 hand corner of the WordPress admin footer. Some people may not have the At
 a Glance meta box shown on the dashboard, so putting the version number
 there is not important. Also, to add; it makes much more sense having the
 theme shown there with a dashicon than next to the version number I think,
 personally.
