Ah, interesting. We could perhaps hide the big download button on the
web page used as the browser homepage. What do you all think?

The short answer is: they don't need to know, Tails will tell them
when they have to upgrade, and our bug reporting software will include
this information in the bug reports. But I'm obviously cheating :)

So, a way is to run `tails-version' in a terminal.

An easier way is to run the WhisperBack bug reporting tool, that adds
such information to the bug report, that one may look at.

Perhaps we could add a "About Tails" launcher in the "System" menu,
just bellow (or instead of) the "About GNOME" one?

Cheers,
