This is not configurable, what exactly are you trying to remove and why?

Discourse currently adds a `` tag to every page which includes the exact version of Discourse installed down to the git commit hash. This is a potential security hazard because it very clearly broadcasts what software and what specific version is installed, meaning if a zero-day exploit comes out or anyone lags behind in their updates for various legitimate reasons, they are broadcasting their vulnerability.
It would be nice to be able to suppress this tag via admin configuration.

Already covered at some length in

> I don’t think the Discourse version is show anywhere (except to the admin on the Dashboard), why not add it to the /about page? I’m currently researching Discourse usage and would be interested to see which version site admins are running. To a normal user this would let them know which forum software is being used.
