4 There is already a guideline about it it basically says :
5
6 "Every changes that just fix an issue for a certain deals of users (e.g.
7 optional dep version bump, different use handling, anything that makes
8 the program not build just in that particular case BUT doesn't affect
9 ALL the users, that could be perfectly fine with that specific merged
10 program) could be made w/out bumping the revision"

12 Again the key is having developers knowing what's going on and acting
13 considering their actions, not some set of detailed rules.
