This field is about the version to use for the underlying build. Instead of removing, this needs to have a new name, which will cause a breaking change.

It is confusing and I somehow thought otelcol-version is the version of the underlying collector binary. I am still confused. what are the version and otelcol-version fields referring to ? We would need to give them better nomenclature.

This repository builds custom distributions of the OpenTelemetry Collector, and the distribution itself might have its own version. Imagining that Jaeger would be such a distribution, version would be Jaeger's version (like 2.0.0-alpha1), and otelcol-version is which version of OpenTelemetry Collector version to base on (0.22.0, for instance)

Thank you Juraci for the explanation. I think I get it now. This means we have to deal with 3 versions variables in total. In order to prevent making breaking change, I opted to go ahead with a subcommand:
$ ./opentelemetry-collector-builder version
dev
Let me know in case you think we should do it in some other way.
