Comment 4 for bug 688008

Rewriting the help is bug 600875.

I think using a settings panel for version numbers would be inappropriate for an OS used on notebook and desktop computers, because Ubuntu version numbers are not settings. When iOS and Android have version info in the Settings, they are preserving simplicity of the home screen (it's hard to see where else they'd put it) at the expense of coherence. That tradeoff is justifiable for a mobile OS. But it wouldn't be justifiable for Mac OS X or even Chrome OS to do the same thing, because they have a much broader landscape in which to put the info somewhere sensible.
