--- Comment #21 from Michał <[email protected]> ---
I do agree that showing off the major version by default with the option to
disable it would be a reasonable compromise. The major version is much easier
to figure out by the assets and not having it there is sad for e.g. analytical
purposes, it's really interesting to see what versions of Koha are deployed
throughout the country, how actively do they follow the community updates etc.

There is some merit to hiding it completely like mentioned around the Shodan
scan, but I think if someone develops an exploit and tests privately that it
works, they'll be more likely to just enlist all Koha instances out there in
the wild and just attempt all anyway, it's not like there's that many of them
either. At most I feel like they'd exclude the new ones rather than excluding
the unknown ones.

With that said, hiding only the minor version would at least definitely hide
whether it's a security-patched version already or not yet there, so this might
be a sensible default.

If the default remains all hidden, community-maintained pages like this will
lose a lot of their merit: https://pl.wiki.bibliotekaaik.pl/view/Koha
