Why would you want to conceal this information? (Not being
argumentative; I really want to know).

I explicitly document firmware revision numbering systems precisely so
that the end-user will understand what s/he is running. I don't want
people assigning the same trust level to alpha/beta/special-build
versions as to official releases.
