Why do you think that? The docs for :version say this:

:version
        VALUE should be a string specifying that the variable was
        first introduced, or its default value was changed, in Emacs version 
VERSION.
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The default value has changed, 2 new values have been added to
vc-handled-backends since 22.1: BZR and HG

(Let me remind you that the point of :version is so that the user can
do M-x customize-changed VERSION_NO RET and find out what changed in
emacs since VERSION_NO )
