 The current WordPress version doesn't show on the upgrade screen. I think
 it would be useful to have the current WordPress version showing on the
 update page.

 Before (without current version number):

 After (with version number):

 This could save a lot of time. Rather than checking the version by going
 to the admin home and viewing 'at a glance', the update screen would allow
 users to make a more informed choice from the update screen. It's also
 possible that some users may have inadvertently unchecked the 'at a
 glance' checkbox and can't find the current version of WordPress they are
 running.  This would also bring it into line with how plugins are
 displayed on the update screen. Plugins show the current version and the
 version that is available to update to.

 Willing to update code to implement this if there are enough people
 wanting to take this forward.
