This was precisely what prompted me to dump that in the thread, because
I felt like people who typically use version in a different context will
either be confused or get the wrong idea. While some options have the
caveat of being technical but clear, some have the ambiguity of being
vice versa. But since others doesn't seem to find that a concern, It should
be fine to rest my case.
