> 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 🤷 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
