Do you mean the plugin versions, or the bzrlib version?  I agree it
would be good for 'bzr plugins' to show the first, if it can find one.
 For the second, the version must be the same as bzr, otherwise you
get a warning when bzr starts.  In fact the number shown at the top is
the bzrlib version, since the bzr script changes so rarely.
