If anything, just having the different version number on the banner makes 
it easier to track what has been updated as well as avoiding customers 
emailing us saying "Your version of sendmail is not safe" etc 
etc.   Modifying the .mc is an option, but then its an extra step to 
unmodify it :-(

Given that 4.9release has been pushed back a few weeks can the RE approve 
it ?  Pretty please ? ;-)
