Hi Anton, The json schema definition files haven't been deemed public api yet although they perhaps should (KIPs welcome).
Your suggestion to update `validVersions` sounds good to me. Longer-term, it would also make sense to consider a `deprecatedVersions` field (this is especially useful if we deprecate at the start of a new major versions cycle, but this requires a new KIP).
