When to use it
For compliance policies, which usually exist once per platform and change rarely. The version lets a stricter policy run for a pilot group next to the one it will replace.
- Raise the version when the requirements change, then retire the old policy.
- When you split by ownership, say so in the purpose: CorporateDevices, PersonalDevices.
