The versions seemed a bit out of date, and the last policy I remember
is that the latest released versions are always used.  Since it's easy
to find out what the versions are, it doesn't seem necessary to list
them in the file and saves the confusion when the released versions
differ from the file versions (is the file correct or did somebody
just forget to update it?)
