Comment:

 Replying to [comment:7 costdev]:
 Having some second thoughts about [58848].

 > However, the return value of `wp_get_wp_version()` won't match the
 actual current version until the next request. This may need some further
 thought and testing.

 Right, but that is the old behavior? I mean, once the global `$wp_version`
 was set it is kept in memory and would not change even if the
 `version.php` file is updated and the version string there changes?

 It seems that catching the version as it exists at the time of first run
 of `wp_get_wp_version()` would match the old behavior better? Not
 completely sure if that can be changed without causing any
 inconsistencies. Then the functions that require the version as it appears
 after updating `version.php` would still have to `require` it locally.

 Reopening this just for visibility.
