So, pretend I'm dumb ('cause I often am) and spell it out for me, what would
we do with a version?

If a config file contains a section or token that some version of mkfs doesn't
understand, it'll fail.

If we try to read a config file with a too-new version, we'd ... fail?

What does this gain us?
