Removal of VB version everywhere public pleasE!

Since I'm the only administrator of my vbulletin site... why do I need to know the current vb version I own PUBLICLY? It's ok to have it on the admin panel, but... since YOU post the leaks, bugs and exploits VB has (allowing bad guys to hack an outdated vb), what's the meaning of posting the VB version currently running on the footer and MYSQL errors?

This gives hackers advantadge knowing which version do you run and which leaks does it have... and I can't see any reason on why vb version should be public at all... nor even a marketing usage.

Sometimes it's hard to keep a vb updated, so...

how can I remove the VB version from all the footers and MYSQL error reports? on either vb2.x and vb3.x series please!

Thanks!
