Beginning in PowerShell 6.0.0.12, the version-specific (release-specific) $pshome\en-us ($env:ProgramFiles\PowerShell\6.0.0.12\en-US) has its own help files. But, Get-Help in 6.0.0.12 is reading its help files from $pshome in 5.1 (C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\en-us).
If we take the time to create release-specific help files, Get-Help should read them.
Repro:

about_aliases
about_aliases #<-- extra name line
