No. Instead make the “Accepted” moniker have people do “Seconded” for whatever latest version it still works for.

And then the newest users can come and see based on the LATEST version which is the most upvoted answer.

That's just another "vote" then. What's the point of having answers with a vote and a second if people will just do both?

The issue is that relevancy has a time-component, so there needs to be way to age scores as well to make sure the best answer for that time period is at the top.

If there are no new versions, or the new versions have had a tiny uptake, then old answers are relevant!
