Since i don't see anyone doing that, i am assuming that it wouldn't be updated if there was a special field or it either. And if there is a field for it, but it is let empty by the author, then a reader would asume that it is still working for the latest released version.

Coders do not do that (or at least I do not do that) because I believe that users do not bother reading through the long introductory posts. They obviously do look at hack properties though since their questions are based on that.

It is not necessary to allow to leave the field blank.
