The [config-version
documentation](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/project-configs/config-version)
is not clear about what the default value is. It states that the
parameter is optional and that the old version, version 1, is not in
use. This implies that the default version should be 2, but the default
is explicitly stated here as version 1.
```md
## Default
Without this configuration, dbt will assume your dbt_project.yml uses the version 1 syntax, which was deprecated in dbt v0.19.0.
```

As per PR https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/pull/7060, the default
version is in-fact version 2, so this documentation needs to be updated.
