I haven't looked at the details of this particular case, but please do
think through whether a rev bump will actually help before doing one.
For large ports, you are potentially wasting a lot of time and
electricity for a lot of people, after all.

If you're adding a variant for example, a rev bump isn't helpful because
just upgrading won't add anything to the port, the user has to actually
specify that they want the variant when they install.
