  The compatibility version has to be updated as the OGM packet
received a new field (gw_flags).

Why that? Compat 12 was the version with gw flags.

Cool - I knew there was an overview table somewhere but I did not manage to 
find it.  :-)

As the table states 2010.2.0 got version 13 but trunk & next are on 12. I made 
a diff between the packet.h files and saw the gateway flags, therefore I proposed 
to increase the version number to 14. Should the next release contain a 
version smaller than the previous release ?

Regards,
Marek

If you promise that we won't have a feature in trunk but not in next for 
ages... Personally I don't see the reason to make a fully compatible version 
incompatible. And I don't want to explain David S. Miller why he has to merge 
such a change (and the merge window is closed now).

Best regards,

Ok, sounds reasonable. Let's not forget to increase to 14 then. ;-)
