   When merged, this will merge #9292 as well.

   I created a new pull, so 0.13.2 isn’t blocked by this.

   It looks intentional and desirable to allow setting future serialisation versions. Especially something like 9999 to mean “use the very latest even if not the default”.

   @luke-jr Makes sense, but I was assuming that’s what the default was.

    Maybe define a constant for the max valid RPC serialize version?

    Which would imply the default is not always the max. It is not clear from the comments if this is desired.

    Edit: Anyway, fixing this nit is irrelevant for backport. Either we merge/backport this and bikeshed later or we close the pull based on luke-jr’s rationale.
