Yes, that makes sense.

Note that nowadays it's not even clear there's much point in having
DOC-<vers>: we could just use a single DOC file: Emacs is able to
gracefully react to a DOC file that has been changed.

I've been using such a setup for several years now, and  occasionally it
fails to notice that the file has changed and ends up showing some other
docstring than the one intended, but this is rather rare (it happened to
me recently and I felt like "Wow, so the practice does agree with the
theory after all").
