You're completely missing the point.
Before 3.1.0.0 was out, we had policy 3.0.x.x, and any package which
complied with that policy (which at that time was the most recent package
version) was (is) broken, from the point of view of release management.
Yeah, people could have ignored the policy and stuck with earlier
policy versions, but many trusted the most recent policy.
