Full circle with a gap at 11 o'clock

Some time ago I've claimed that I've run a full circle on a TLS certificate lifecycle. Well, there was one more kink in that circle that I've failed to acknowledge at the time.

No version is technically a version

 Amazing discovery of the day: if your Android application doesn't link against the Google Play billing library, but claims to use the com.android.vending.BILLING permission in the manifest, the Google Play developer console will turn your APK down, saying that it uses an unsupported version of the billing library, and why won't you upgrade to v4.

If your app links against billing v5 (the latest as of the time of this writing) but lists said permission in the manifest, you will receive the same error message.
