Unfortunate. Can't we use subsections?

Yes, i'll look into it tomorrow.

Subsections are still broken at the moment although Juan has some patches.
Bumping the version is the safe thing to do.


It's irreversible, once we release a version with a bumped ID we can't go back.

But the question is whether we've bumped *any* versions of common devices since 0.15 because if so, it's moot here. Once any device bumps a version id, migration is incompatible.

Subsections are nice for stable branches, but they don't solve inter-version compatibility. Most importantly, subsections are broken today so until we straighten things out there, we can't rely on them.

Anthony Liguori
