I'm absolutely with you here, but I think that removing the version 
display from the "About" dialog will have much less impact in that 
regard than you believe it has. The largest impact it has, apparently, 
is another episode of angering our community and bad press, which we 
really don't need right now.

I'm rather unconcerned about the actual change, but I'm very concerned 
about the public message and the loss or gain of peers, as both are what 
made us a large contender on a now-fast-moving market and if those turn 
against us, we have lost and the web has lost the only really open 
voice. We cannot let that happen.
