 Removing the whole string serves the purpose to not provide that
 information any longer (especially the version number has implications
 with security).

 Is there some other area the version number is displayed publicly?

 For standard setups I would not care, if you want to harden a setup, such
 information shoulde be removed or tainted, e.g. making it a 2.6.1 wanna-
 bee.
