I like to re-state my earlier proposal to solve this issue by Introducing a new "Version Alias" Frame:
 - the server includes a list which other version numbers it also accepts for the currently used QUIC version
 - it also includes a timeout telling the client how long it may use these aliases.

This design allows to grease the whole version number range, e.g. by generating the aliases based on time windows and a local salt, without risking version clashes, as the alias numbers timeout. The only limitation of this scheme is that the server must make sure that the alias versions do not clash with version numbers the server is going to support within the timeout.
