I think the point is that you don't need version numbers if you have a 
proper device tree.
    

How do you add a new attribute to the device tree and, when a supplied
device tree lacking said attribute, distinguish between a device tree
from an old version of qemu (i.e. use the old default) and a partial
device tree from the VM manager (i.e. use the new default) ?
  

-baseline 0.10

That's a version number :-)
