They still should have just called it TLS v4.0 instead of v1.0.

I'm halfway convinced that they have made subsequent versions v1.1, v1.2, and v1.3 in an outrageously stubborn refusal to admit that they were objectively incorrect to reset the version number.

As I noted below, there was real discussion around the version number for TLS 1.3. I don't recall any such discussion for 1.1 and 1.2.
