Having a version system is safer. If something does require an
incompatible change, like the security fix in the Radeon, then you have
some way of invalidating earlier versions. If it turns out that we can
keep all the versions compatible that's even better and you just don't
indicate that the version change was an incompatible one.
Therefore the version system just becomes a safety net and costs us
nothing in runtime overhead. In practice, we want to strongly discourage
incompatible changes, so it acts like Keith is recommending.
