and now, you have v3. The bundling will grow exponentially!

It’s quadratic, not exponential. For N versions, you have prices:

  N * (N + 1) / 2
It is likely that you could reduce to something approaching an upper bound of 2*N, as with version 8 out, you can drop support for a discounted upgrade from v2 to v4.
