It's not actually about default anything.  You revbump when your change will affect any existing installs. A commit that changes files that are only installed under a variant still merits a revbump.

Your change did not merit a revbump because it could not have affected any existing libxml2 installs. The `readline` variant did not exist before. No existing user will see any difference when they upgrade to libxml @2.9.2_2.
