Comment:

 I agree that this could be helpful to include. In addition to the bottom,
 [attachment:"at-a-glance.png"] shows how it could be included in the At a
 Glance dashboard widget.

 However, I'm of the opinion that this should only be displayed if the site
 is:
 - running a development version
 - has `WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE` set to either `local` or `development`
 (possibly `staging`).

 There's also one thing preventing this, though: the hash used to used to
 include files maintained in the Gutenberg repository is not included
 anywhere in the resulting built files. I think the best and only way to
 include this would be to introduce a new global variable in the `wp-
 includes/versions.php` file and update the build process to set the value
 to same value as `gutenberg.sha` in `package.json`.
