Both the
vprefix as well as the+incompatiblesuffix are parts of the actual version.Removing them as part of "version normalization" was done to ensure compatibility with vulnerability scanners like OSS Index, which can't deal with the
vprefix (OSSIndex/vulns#129 (comment)).I have been reflecting on this, and I don't believe this implementation should be concerned with shortcomings of some scanner. If anything, ensuring correct version formatting should be a concern of OSS Index users (or clients, like OWASP Dependency-Track).
