Confusion around component versions
Description
The status api reports the following:
"versions": [
{
"component": "core",
"version": "3.15.0.dev"
},
{
"component": "python",
"version": "3.5.0.dev"
}
This has let to some confusion among users (see here) because they think the server is running Python 3.5 when actually python here refers to the python plugin.

The only way I know to clarify this is in the docs, but I don't think that will effectively clear this up for those confused. Really an API like this would have been clearer:
"pulp_plugins": [
{
"django_app_name": "core",
"version": "3.15.0.dev"
},
{
"django_app_name": "python",
"version": "3.5.0.dev"
}

We could add a section like that and just have it mirror the data in the other one? It's not great but I do think it's a step in the right direction.

- Status changed from NEW to CLOSED - WONTFIX
Discussed today at triage. We resolved the original problem in the CLI and adding a new section with dupe data would be confusing for users so we agreed to close this out.

Alternative workaround solution: Bump the pulp_python plugin version to 4.0. Now no one will mistake it for the python version. ;-P
