Hello Anthony,

As a support person, I disagree with the statement that `ceph status` for
instant state doesn't benefit from the version being in there. I don't
remember which ceph version each customer runs. Yes, it's just a `ceph
versions` command away, but having it in `ceph status` would save typing
when quickly examining the customer's cluster.

Regarding the "which version to report" question: all of them (from all
Ceph daemons), comma-separated, collapsing any duplicates, and the client
version separately, if it is different. In a typical case, there will be
only one value to show.
