   * @VERSION: filesystem version

:-)

Well, the field is to provide more details about the filesystem, for
example we have VERSION="FAT16" TYPE="vfat", and so on. Note that TYPE
is usually name used by kernel (to be usable for "mount -t <type>").

I guess the VERSION is used by some userspace stuff (udisks?) to get
more information (or provide more details to end-users). It's probably
nothing critical.
