The "version" key could in theory be useful to know whether a particular venv created by that Python has or has not yet been upgraded to match, but since the upgrade is trivial and idempotent I don't think that is important.

Agreed it's not essential, but it also provides some useful information about the version (for a user, rather than the update script) without actually having to invoke the interpreter to check.
