I decided that it would be good to allow comments on Keen Modding Live comments unattached to specific versions, that is, comments made directly from the level page as opposed to a version player page. Once comment notifications (or any kind of notifications at all) become a thing, people will often want to reply to comments on their levels, so the page they get directed to should have reply functionality. The version player page is very heavy (several MB), so I won't want to direct users to a section of that from comment notifications.
So I tweaked the API and database schema to allow leaving the version field null. The timestamp is still recorded, of course, so attentive readers will be able to see whether a comment is obsolete (due to a new version being uploaded) by looking at the date it was posted.
