The ELisp manual is printed as a book, and books have _editions_.  The
2.9 thingy is used as the printed manual's edition (see @titlepage),
whose count is independent of the Emacs version documented in that
edition of the manual.  The edition is printed on the first pages of
the manual's printed copy.
