> it is a legitimate version 2 Maybe, but then the previous one was version 1, not a prototype. I've never seen people actually write prototypes, nor management accept time invested on writing prototypes, in any job I've had. Prototypes always directly become version 1 on production, unless of course the whole project gets canceled mid-development.
