It looks like https://wiki.dwarfstd.org/Dwarf_Version_Numbers.md hasn't been brought up to date with DWARF5 yet. This table can be useful because the versions of different sections do not necessarily follow the major DWARF version.

For example, last year I had a question from a tool author where he was confused by the fact that .debug_line file format was only 3 even though he was compiling for either DWARF4 or 5 (I don't remember) on the command line.

While we are at it and preparing DWARF6 it would be a great hint to tool developers to know where they need to focus effort by keeping this table up to date with the evolving DWARF6.
