   > The current version is an `i32`, why waste that on a single digit? We can 
encode a year based version as a decimal integer `202606`. Or if we want SemVer 
something like `2013000` (for `2.13.0`). Or, for just major/minor we could 
split the `i32` into two `i16`s (`0x2000D`).
   
   I agree that is a more clever encoding. I was trying to find something that 
was backwards compatible and avoids the "what does the version field mean" 
discussion, that no one seems able to resolve 
   
   🤷
