That would be more natural/convenient, but it'd unfortunately defeat
the whole reason Version was added in the first place.
By making Version required, we force callers to be explicit to Lucene
about what level of back compat is required.
This then enables Lucene to improve its defaults with each release,
without breaking users that need to keep backwards compatibility.
