Rewriting the help is bug 600875.

I think using a settings panel for version numbers would be
inappropriate for an OS used on notebook and desktop computers, because
Ubuntu version numbers are not settings. When iOS and Android have
version info in the Settings, they are preserving simplicity of the home
screen (it's hard to see where else they'd put it) at the expense of
coherence. That tradeoff is justifiable for a mobile OS. But it wouldn't
be justifiable for Mac OS X or even Chrome OS to do the same thing,
because they have a much broader landscape in which to put the info
somewhere sensible.
