The situation is not very easy to explain. I discovered that our commit
is 6 ahead of the commit published as version 17 for NoAnnoyance v2. I
don’t really want to know how it relates to “NoAnnoyance” the original
extension, because it has been forked around 2017 between f21d09a
(“change to GPL v2 license”) and 866084e (“Rewrite”), which may be
something like version 4 in extensions.gnome.org.

In any case, since we are continuing the version number scheme of
NoAnnoyance v2, this is version 17-6. I tried to explain this as
quickly as possible, what do you think?

Best regards,

Vivien
