That's strange. Why? I mean: That is vital information about the own
system. That would save a lot of time for threads like "*whine* syntax
error *whine*" when the problem is a version missmatch. Additionally
it's a security improvement when I can step up to an old box check the
versions and update _if_ required! Can you please tell me: What is the
point in _not_ providing such information?!
