Instead of guessing about that, you should much rather read the
source to get some facts:

        if (sscanf(server_version_string, "SSH-%d.%d-%[^\n]\n",
            &remote_major, &remote_minor, remote_version) != 3)
                fatal("Bad remote protocol version identification: '%.100s'", buf);

The format must be correct, and the major and minor must also
be correct. The remote_version field is mostly used to recoginze
buggy implementations and take appropriate actions.
