"The version number is too high" is one complaint.
"I have compatibility issues across releases" is another. They are not the same. They are not interchangeable.
What happened here perfectly exemplifies what happens every time a release is brought up. One of these complaints is brought up, then in the next breath it's switched to the other, as if we're still discussing the same thing.
We are not.
Conflating the two by bouncing between them multiple times in a discussion, every time the discussion occurs results in massive, unproductive churn.
