Unit used for versioning

After learning that forum-feedback may result in fixes I find it worthwhile to post this, which has been a draft in my notes for quite a while.

The documentation on versioning reads, under Maximum Age:

If only for 10 days, use 10.

Yet, the actual maxAge configuration states:

The maximum time to keep a version, in seconds.

Only one of these statements can be true. Alternatively; Maybe this is another case of web user interface versus XML config context? If so; It could perhaps, especially considering both the above facts are on the same page, be made more clear.

This is true. The GUI uses days, which are then translated to seconds in the config.xml file. This is only the case with maxAge for the staggered versioning, as with other versioning types, it seems to be days both in the GUI and in the config.
