would it not be a good idea to NOT disclosure service versions? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718133 you will more and more have the "problem" of 3rd party security scans to your servers and currently in the case of openssh the only solution is to tkae the F16-src-rpm and rebuild it for your F15 machines _______________________ however - why do we spit the current running versions to everyone?
Spitting out versions makes your OWN network monitor easier, as you can depend on version strings, instead of brute forcing unversioned services to do a security scan/audit. With or without versions, attackers will always brute force anyway. Hiding therefor services no purpose other then make your own process of inventory harder.
