Since we've started talking about longer term goals, and the versioning
provision seems to stand, I hope we address how much the fragment versioning
thing is similar to the way board revisions progress.

If a versioning syntax is available then one could create a single DT 
file for a bunch of 'almost' similar board and board revisions.

Using a single DTB in the same manner you have a single uImage would
make some people quite happy, since you won't have to do any bootloader
magic to make sure you pass the correct DTB for the specific revision.
