Simple, tiny feature request: Show the current installed version on the update page

Not sure where to make a feature request, so I'm posting here.

I bought a FreeNAS ready-built system. After some time I visited the UI and saw an alert that an update was available. It said to go to System->Update to update it.

Nowhere on that page does it show the current installed version (so I could get an idea of where I was and what I was updating to).

The System->General doesn't show that information either.

You have to go Settings->About in the upper-right corner to see it. Or click the Guide link at the bottom which will take you to the guide specifically for this version.

It'd be really great if it showed the current version on the Update screen.

It isn't super-obvious, but it is there:

The "11.3-U3.2" on the left of each line is the currently-installed version; the "11.3-U4.1" to the right is the version that would be installed.

You have to go Settings->About in the upper-right corner to see it.
Or go to the Dashboard, top link in the left column:

...where you'll see this as the first tile:
