Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Hi there, welcome back to WordPress Trac!

 Replying to [ticket:58433 dav4]:
 > You also decided to hide WP version from readme.html some time ago.

 Just to clarify a bit for anyone looking at the ticket, the version number
 was removed from `readme.html` not for security reasons, but rather as
 part of a general focus on de-emphasizing the version in the admin, except
 for a few places where it's relevant: the About page, the Updates screen,
 Site Health, etc. See [39583] / #35554 and #42386.

 Indeed, there are [https://konstantin.blog/2013/dont-hide-the-fact-that-
 youre-using-wordpress/ other ways to determine the version number].
