Would that show the date the update was applied, or the actual release date of
the last upgrade? Also, this may not provide a meaningful reference point if
we can't use the same information regarding the target build that the upgrade
will leave you in. In the latter case, currently *all* we know is the build
number.

I do like putting the build number in parentheses. Many OSes/applications do
this with even more cryptic build numbers than ours. ;)
