I prefer a version number which can be switched on/off from the ACP. I like knowing what version software I'm using.
No need for it on the frontend IMHO. I'd imagine version # will be in the Admin CP.
Depends on which way the Dev's go with it. The normality is that it's publicly visible. If you can show me one semi-popular forum software which it isn't by default, I'd be surprised.

What is the point of having the version number publicly visible? Is it something that your members, etc, really need to know?
As far as one that doesn't display it:

Version # tells the end-user nothing (unless they're trying an exploit). Admin CP only please
Conversely, removing the version number from the footer gains you nothing in terms of security, although it does give you a small amount of obscurity. Personally, I don't care if the version number is there or not.
^ All three of those are powered by vBulletin, which by default, does include the version number.
Wrong, the version number is displayed by default.
