Having 0 mean max makes the logic confusing when maxSdkValue is used in variable. This sanitizes the data so that maxSdkValue is always just a plain int value that can be used to test against. It does this by defaulting to Byte.MAX_VALUE (127) if it is not explicitly set. At the rate of 24 SDK numbers in 8 years, that gives us about 24 years before we have to think about setting it to Short.MAX_VALUE.

FAQ
- Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.
- Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
