Is there any reason not to drop ERC version now that
it isn't maintained seperately from Emacs? So, instead of ...
"ERC Version 5.3 (IRC client for Emacs)" 
it would be "ERC (IRC client for Emacs 24.4)" etc.

Otherwise it will always be version 5.3 but part of Emacs release
cycle. Any thoughts?

One reason to keep an ERC version is in case anybody wants to do a
release of ERC separate from an Emacs release.  Having proper version
numbers would allow users to install a newer ERC from ELPA and also have
the right thing happen if they subsequently install a newer Emacs
containing an even newer version of ERC.
