------------------------------------------
This proposal makes sense to me. I'd be happy to help with the effort if you'd
like to split up work.
bq. In addition, it can help formalising the use of internal versions vs format
versioning ( LUCENE-9616)
Do we plan to separate out the logic more clearly, and avoid sharing big chunks
of logic across format versions (as we do now for example with
{{CompressingStoredFieldsReader}})? If so we could take the opportunity to
'start fresh' and reset all internal format versions. Going forward, we could
have a clear policy that for any significant change, we should create a new
format and copy the old one to backwards-codecs instead of using an internal
version. (Perhaps we'll even find that internal versions are not useful in some
places and choose to remove them?)

> Current formats are distributed in different packages, prefixed with the
> Lucene version they were created. With the upcoming release of Lucene 9.0, it
> would be nice to move all those formats to just the o.a.l.codecs.Lucene90
> package (and of course moving the current ones to the backwards-codecs).
> This issue would actually facilitate moving the directory API to little
> endian (LUCENE-9047) as the only codecs that would need to handle backwards
> compatibility will be the codecs in backwards codecs.
