Yes, I agree.

Because it includes versions. These are necessary when working across
different versions but I do not think versions are needed for classes.

I am suggesting that classes do not need versions at all. Doing
reasoning on a per class and per version basis would be bad practice,
no? One would expect that the whole RDF/OWL representation would be used
for reasoning. I think class URIs are only used as identifiers. This
also avoids the problem of ensuring correct older versions for
deprecated classes.
