Fate of numpy.version in 2.0

[h-vetinari]

While looking at the reference (effectively) for numpy's public API, I noticed:

numpy/numpy/tests/test_public_api.py

Line 141 in 6059db1

"version" # Should be removed for NumPy 2.0

I haven't followed the finalization of 2.0 closely, so apologies if this is superfluous, but I thought I'd flag it. It wasn't mentioned in #25918 for example.

I'll vote for not doing anything, the sum of all changes is already large when it comes to spending downstream annoyance chips.

I agree with not doing anything. It was a minor cleanup opportunity, but the window for regular API changes for 2.0 has closed. We've asked downstream projects to do their RC1 and hopefully have our own RC1 out later this week.

I see a few more minor inaccuracies in that test, I'll open a PR to fix this comment and those other things.
