need to a see a consensus from a variety of developers that
"--version" is the right answer, and not "-V/--version", etc.
Both are ok for me. "-v" as a shortcut for "--version" looks wrong, though. "-v"
is almost always used for verbosity these days.
Adding -V *could* be incompatible with existing users using it for
something else. A default '--version' seems like a sensible solution to me.

Note
that even though I agree with you that "-v/--version" is probably not
the best choice, in the poll[2] 11% of people still wanted this.
This strikes me as a small minority.
