I'm guessing that it's just in case you've got some freaky version system of your own worked out, but it seems a little strange to look at a new installation and discover that the old version number is among the preserved settings.

You weren't told to do it anywhere, because you shouldn't have had to do it...  The make install should have dropping in a new copy of Version.py, and then the compile_dir would have generated a new Version.pyc.

You should carefully review the make install output, make sure there wasn't an error buried in the noise, and double check the permissions on the files, run check_perms, etc.
