Then you see the version imported being v1.X where X>20 and of course that makes it obvious that it’s v2?

Are version numbers 2.0 and higher explicitly banned?

Edit: found an explanation further down (spoiler: not a very good one but a very go one).

It's Google.

Valid versions are in the 0 < x < 1.0 range.
