So if our min_version is 2.1 and the max_version is 2.50. That means alternative implementations need implement all the 50 versions api...that sounds pain...
Yes, it's pain, but it's no different than someone who is following the Amazon EC2 API, which cuts releases at a regular (sometimes every 2-3 weeks) clip.
In Amazon-land, the releases are date-based, instead of microversion/incrementing version-based, but the idea is essentially the same.
There is GREAT value to having an API mean ONE thing and ONE thing only. It means that developers can code against something that isn't like quicksand -- constantly changing meanings.
