Because if you look at it, and it's not up to date, you basically know the security holes in the site. It's not fool proof (as you've just demonstrated), but still.

Why should one remove it? Which DrupalCon. (I also need that psych!). I have been running drush pm-update and getting the successful message that 7.12 updated to 7.15 but when I look it is still 7.12. On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 4:30 PM, Jamie Holly hovercrafter@earthlink.net wrote: CHANGELOG.txt

At DrupalCon I found out about some file that is suggested to be removed that, if I recall correctly, will tell you the version of Drupal installed on a site. I can't seem to find that information now that I'm looking for it, and I'm afraid I might have dreamt it.
Any suggestions? Psychiatrist? "If you're dreaming of Drupal, you have some serious problems. Still... wanna take a look at our website?"
