 * There are plugins hiding version numbers but these plugins wont remove the trace
   that CF7 leave in the form (For security reasons)

 * As discussed here, it’s making it a bit more complicated for someone to figure
   it out what version you are using. Thus making it more difficult for a hacker
   if there is a reported vulnerability to know the version.
 * Is there a filter for removing the version printed in hidden input field?

 * I do not ignore that! I do agree to a certain point, but hiding the version makes
   it more complicated for a hacker.
