Comment (by johnbillion):

 The variables in version.php are not always globals, the documentation is
 somewhat misleading. They're global when version.php is included in the
 global scope, but it also gets included in local scope during the upgrade
 process.

 Explicitly declaring version.php variables as global will break updates.
 If someone wants to open a PR with this change, fingers crossed it gets
 picked up by tests. If not, the tests need improving.
