It probably not just for work around of someone else mistake, but also for
your own implementation that has bugs. Even though issue is fixed in newer
release, for a large customer, it may take to time to upgrade to latest
version, based on the size of the deployment. As a work around, to
facilitate software upgrade, vendor-id trick could be ideal. It is a
temporary work around and not permanent. Thus including a software version
in vendor-id would be ideal for such issue.
