This feels like doubling down on the previous idea of mutually-intelligible "compatible" versions -- now you're essentially saying that, while QUIC has stated invariants, there are walled gardens of version sets within those invariants which are all QUIC but are not straightforward to use together.  That's trading potential implementation simplification for deployment and maintenance complexity, isn't it?

I agree that this is a simplification by reducing an axis of movement.  I remain unconvinced that we can guarantee all versions of QUIC used for a given scenario will be "compatible."
