set of versions, some rooms may benefit from features introduced by other versions.
Rooms move between different versions by "upgrading" to the desired version. Due
to versions not being ordered or hierarchical, this means a room can "upgrade" to
version 1 from version 2, if it is so desired.

Room versions are used to change properties of rooms that may not be compatible
with other servers. For example, changing the rules for event authorization would
cause older servers to potentially end up in a split-brain situation due to them
not understanding the new rules.
