I specifically added a new version, 1.9.2, which is not present in Illumos to cope with this. DT_VERS_LATEST points to our latest version, not Illumos latest version. I don't think it's necessary to merge all the other versions when we can have our own version number. 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.
