[Feature Request] Separate pack versions in a pack.mcmeta file

In 1.18.2 data packs’ pack version was bumped from 8 to 9, making the data and resource version different for the first time. There is only one pack_format in a pack.mcmeta

{
  "pack": {
    "pack_format": 8,
    "description": "Fabric Resource Loader Test Builtin Pack."
  }
}

But we can create a pack with data and assets, so shouldn’t we be able to separate data and assets in the pack_version? Example:

{
  "pack": {
    "fabric:data_format": 9,
    "fabric:assets_format" 8,
    "description": "Fabric Resource Loader Test Builtin Pack."
  }
}

This issue basically mirrors https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/issues/8563

I’m still not sure why this matters since we don’t have a pack.mcmeta file on Fabric for packs? Or is there one for builtin packs added via resource loader?

ones added by fabric resource loader

I don’t think this is really useful compared to just using separate builtin packs. After all, data packs and resource packs are handled differently by MC.
