It may have been this way for a while, but I noticed today the about box says

Version: Helios Release (3.6.0)

Has this been discussed already? 

Should we really say "3.6.0". I know lots of us do use the platform's version when referring to a release ... but I thought that was (also) the idea behind providing a name (Helios) ... that we would not have to use number ... that the number was sort of "incorrect" on some levels ... and confusing to casual users. And providing it sort of undermines the named way of referring to the release version. Especially since the EPP packages are versioned 1.3 I think :) 

Not a big deal to me .. I could live with it there ... just thought I'd mention it and make sure it had been carefully considered.
