I prefer the version which states:

     *Open Object Rexx Version 5.1.0 r12616*
     Build date: Jan  6 2023

The 5.1.0 is the "major version" and the "r12616" is the most precise version 
identification.

   say .rexxinfo~revision

will always give you the revision that was in place when the package got 
created.

Not showing the revision number on "rexx -v" is meant to indicate that it is an official release version and not an interim build.
