Doing so also precludes merging results with any existing OSM database though. You can't have an extract then update via a service which strips version numbers.
If you need versions in your extract. If your extract is supposed to contain only the latest version of anything anyway, then no point in even having version numbers locally!
I think if you wanted to make this clear signal, you'd fake the IDs altogether, use incrementing ones starting at 0, for example.
That would remove more information than necessary *and* be more complicated (due to having to keep intact referential integrity therefore having to keep track of assigned IDs). I think the sign would not have to be *that* clear.
