Comment:

 Hmm, not sure 51976.diff is a good idea. The version in the footer is for
 the currently running code, not what it may be in the future. The settings
 (for the future updates) are/should be on the Updates screen :)

 > As it stands, for several months the footer will show You are using a
 development version (5.6). Cool! which is not true

 Right, should be fixed to show what the current version is. Also thinking,
 after the Updates screen changes, the word "development" may not belong
 there. A simple: `WordPress version 1.2.3` would be simpler and better
 imho. If it is a dev. version that will be clearly visible from the
 `$wp_version` string.
