Those of us who "use" OOo don't give a "rats a.." about the version number and can't remember it and shouldn't be expected to try to find it. A date lets us know that it recent or old and we can get back to our business. Having been a developer in previous life, I understand that developers live and die by version numbers. As a user, I want to know if I have the latest. If I don't, I'll go get it.
