You're right, that is a better approach. I'll revert the changes. Thanks, 
Albert!

Really?

Just go to https://www.kde.org/

On the announcements section they can clearly see which is the last version of 
each of our three "main" products.

Latest version on top of each schedule page

[pointedstick]

Howdy release team!

I just made some changes to the schedules web pages to add the current versions 
of each product to the top of the page:
- https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5
- https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Frameworks
- https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Applications/18.04_Release_Schedule
- https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Applications/17.12_Release_Schedule

My reasoning was that this would help new users find out the latest releases of 
KDE Software, as parsing the tables is more difficult and error-prone. The need 
arose when I was writing another wiki page[1] to help users format release 
strings, and thought that it was a bit too hard to find out the latest versions.

Since this addition has proved controversial, I wanted to start a conversation 
about it here. Is there a way to maybe generate this information 
programmatically?
