No, on the :intro screen leading zeros are suppressed. The patchlevel will get additional digits as it reaches higher powers of ten (i.e., two digits 10-99, three digits 100-999, etc.). I see the same on my desktop where openSUSE Linux Leap 15.1 is installed and where I get the Vim source's from Christian Brabandt's Mercurial mirror. Similarly, in the :version output I see VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Dec 14 2019 14:44:49) Included patches: 1-3 Compiled by [email protected] Big version with GTK2 GUI. Features included (+) or not (-): etc. My last 8.1 build before 8.2 came out said "version 8.1.2424" in its :intro screen, and AFAIK the routine which dsplays that screen hasn't changed, it just uses different constants.
