While doing the previously mentioned PATA rework I've looked at
the ratio of patches actually updating version numbers and not
doing so.  This lead me to the same conclusions as with version
numbers in IDE drivers previously..

However this is just my opinion so if you for some reason would
like to bump version numbers of some drivers I won't complain..
