I think this deserves some careful consideration.  I think its important that we maintain the capability to:

1) Deploy a 'newer version' of a VDB that clients will use without any changes to clients.
and, conversely, from a user's perspective, 
2) Deploy a 'new version' of a VDB while maintaining the older version such that existing clients will continue to use the old on without change.

Currently VDB version in the connection is the mechanism.  I won't argue against getting rid of version, but if we do I think we need to have a different way to accomplish the above.
