Not sure what you mean there Lorenzo, but what I am advocating is that
kicad would not fail with a cryptic error when it encounters a future
format, and just state this file is incompatible and the user should
upgrade. No backward or forward compatibility is kept here, just
indication about compatibility. As you say, the files already has a
version number.
