Rick Kellogg commented on KAFKA-1877:
-------------------------------------

Please be aware that exposure of version information can sometimes cause 
security certification problems.  Individuals use this information to target 
security holes.  So as a consequence, there should be a way to disable this 
information.

> Expose version via JMX for 'new' producer
