Include game version number in blueprint

Please include the game version number inside serialized blueprints.
I see that version 0.16 blueprints are compatible with 0.15 blueprints, so factorioprints.com continues to work without updates. Thanks for that!
A user of the site pointed out that some older blueprints are obsolete due to recipe changes even though the blueprints are backwards compatible and can still be built. The blueprint format version '0' isn't enough to answer whether a blueprint will work.
Blueprints already have 'version' in the json, but I believe it's a map version number. I'm suggesting adding something like game_version: "0.16.1" to blueprints and books json, using the version number of the game *when the blueprint is created*. I would just use it to display on factorioprints! Thanks for everything!
