This page contains the description "WCAG 2.0" in the "Intent" section. Because the 2.0 is outdated currently, shouldn't it be "WCAG 2" instead?

I think we held off updating every mention of 2.0 in #3588 because of the mention in https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#background-on-wcag-2

Where this document refers to WCAG 2 it is intended to mean any and all versions of WCAG that start with 2.

Happy to reconsider though - there are quite a few other mentions of 2.0 in various understanding docs beyond that one.
