That's only for 500-599 response codes. The 'broken handling' there literally
means broken as in the server couldn't handle the request. That bullet point is
saying if you had a 500-599 response fixing the code so it's either a 4XX or a
2XX does not need a version. This specific case needs a version boundary because
you going from a 403 -> 204.
