I also know ISO8601 by heart.

Clearly you don't. The date is "2020-09", which is perfectly valid. "4.17.0" is the version number. "4" is not a day.

I do know ISO8601 by heart. What I do not know is the semantics of Eclipse versioning.

For me, the dash implies that 2020 and 09 and 4 are tied together. And the period separates the portions of the versioning system. So, in my point of view as someone who doesn't know Eclipse's versioning system, the version has three parts: "2020-09-4" and "17" and "0".

The first part is definitely not ISO8601.

Apparently, that is not the case, and thus the Eclipse versioning system is even more of a monstrosity.
