I've seen some confusion around 1.17 and 1.18, thinking that it's weird that Part 2 is considered 1.18. As a general note, remember that versions are just a way to keep track of changes in a game, and Part 2 will be considered 1.18 because it is a major version change from 1.17.
Calling it 1.18 has nothing to do with the update theme. Versions are entirely for technical purposes, not for language semantics like update themes. Part 2 being a dot release for 1.17 would disingenuous as it would be larger changes in code scope than a dot release.
