Theoretically, the version "number" in this case is technically not a number, because you wouldn't do any math operations with it, it's more like a string. So 3.1415926535897932384626433832795 and 3.14159265358979323846264338327950 are two different strings.
Practically, since TeX will have no new features as they only fix bugs now and the last bugfix release 3.14159265 was 7 years ago, I think we'll actually never get there.

Actually, I think this is a wrong rule of thumb. In my experience, there is more of a "barbell dynamics" (Taleb):
I can take a lot of stress at once, but then I need some time to recover. I find this perfectly healthy and it grows me as a human being. On the other hand, when I'm under constant stress with no relief in sight, that's the real killer.
I think it is useful to not over-optimize your life. You want to be prepared for the 5%. That's why I bought a car recently, even though I advocated for the OP's philosophy before and rented where I could.

Is there any fundamental reason why the loop increments with 8 instead of 1? Or is this completely arbitrary? Thanks.
