I wouldn't do that... Perhaps we need to start evangelizing that you should not modify this file, but the one in your personal data (as @habibvirji has already started mentioning it in the forums). As for the version, a) I would prefer to have it on a different file b) since the version changes based on the tag, this file wouldn't change that often (unless you also get the latest commit short hash too as @cbotsikas suggested).
