We have been keeping the DT_VERS_* in sync with the Illumos guys.

There is an implicit agreement that they maintain the API so that people
that see that DT_VERS_LATEST >= 1.12.1 know they can use this feature.
If we are not going to respect it then we shouldn't bump it at all.

None of this is written though, so you have your right to disagree, but
that doesn't make upgrades consistent.

Pedro.
