Any ill effects from removing the version number from the javascripts?

Go to:
Admin cp
Styles & Templates > Open the box
Search in templates

Search for Text: .js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}
Replace with Text: .js
Test Replacement Only
(This will show you the results of doing this find/replace, without actually updating the templates) Tick NO
Click find until it's done.

I'd like others to test this out on a test skin/site and report any ill effects from it, thanks! It can help to prevent others from seeing version numbers to an extent and help with page loading.

I've done this and this issue is resolved for pretty much all js that I've seen so far.
