This is a valid point -- I'd love to know how we would provide 
sufficient information to satisfy the above user question without 
providing the version number. Would we e.g. say which channel 
(Aurora/Nightly/Beta/Stable) the user is using instead, and hope that 
the tech press start to talk about channels rather than version numbers?
