 When WordPress detects there is a new update, the current version number
 displayed in dashboard is replaced with a link prompting a WordPress
 update. The current version information is important especially in this
 context as very old unmaintained installs have a greater potential of
 being broken by an update so it's important to know just how out of date
 the WordPress instance is.

 Suggestion: add the update link **in addition** to showing current version
 information **instead of replacing** current version information.

 Up-to-date wordpress instance shows version information:
