There is also the issue of using the FreeBSD version bump as a
"marker", so that when FAQs start arriving about why "something
has changed", you can point the questioner to the version bump
instead of "oh, there was some change to something in the kernel
somewhere around that time".

Now, obviously, there's no point in bumping the revision every
time someone commits a file -- but in this case, where one might
potentially suspect "unintended consequences", I'd rather see the
project err on the side of having too many bumps rather than
too few.

IMHO, YMMV, etc.
