Do you propose to drop \Omegaversion because you changed the Omega
code and forgot to increase the version number? :)
we could have decreased the number instead and then at version 0 drop

anyhow, we don't need to carry around primitives that have no use as in
a macro package one can define then as macro: if luatex then
omegaversion is n
