Looks like a bad idea, indeed.

I don't like this.  \version should stay unmodified if nothing gets
changed, and I favor a change in convert-ly accordingly.

However, I can imagine that, completely independent from convert-ly,
another script adds something like

  % tested with version "2.17.95"

and this comment gets updated whenever we feel it is the right thing
to do.
