  I suspect (it doesn't really matter for my application) that osmosis
  doesn't try to do anything clever concerning versions, and for way
  processing will just take the latest instance of a node that it saw
  while processing the stream. Since the nodes in the history dumps are
  ordered by timestamp, I guess that would mean it takes v3 and all
  later versions.
