I'm surprised by how many otherwise sensible and clueful people think 
that security through obscurity is a good idea.  Hiding the version 
number will not prevent adversaries from discovering the version 
number.  The correct strategy, from a security point of view, is to 
bloody well fix security problems quick smart!
