The reason I started asking people not to put version numbers in the Lisp programs included in Emacs is that they tend to be time wasters. But that problem happens mainly when the program's maintainer sends patches for us to install. But since you maintain Calc directly in the Emacs repository, the only person whose time it costs is yours. So you may as well do whatever you prefer about this.
