Comment:

 Hi there, welcome back to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 When looking at the file as a whole, you may find that `$display_version`
 is used in strings like:
 * `Welcome to WordPress %s`
 * `Learn more about WordPress %s`

 However, maintenance and security release entries (see
 [source:tags/6.2.2/src/wp-admin/about.php?marks=83,94#L74 6.2.1 for
 example]) use a hardcoded version number. Using `$display_version` there
 does not seem to provide any benefits, and would only add more work for
 the release team, as it would no longer be accurate for the previous
 release once a new one is available, so it would have to be replaced each
 time for a new release, and might be easy to miss.
