Well then, how about:
"HTTPD/version (None of your Damned Business)"
or
"Something/sometime (What's it to you?)"
I'm just having too much fun with this. Sorry. ;) More seriously, I agree that the standard announce line should stay.

I agree with Matthias, it's not obscurity, it's the same when a firewall put a port in stealth mode, it just doesn't respond to a request to that port.

Jep I agree. But notice that this is a _big_ security risk because the cracker knows which distribution you're running and can use distribution specific security holes (e.g. unpatched security holes or security holes in old software).
I like to second that, since a line like "Apache (latest version)" reads for
a potential hacker like "I know my business, I'm uptodate". From a
psychological point of view this is a good argument. The other way around,
"Archlinux (known as the most secure Distro ever)" would have a similar
effect. We work on it...
