That's the question. IMHO it's a major bump. It's not strictly binary
compatible, because an existing module could *allocate* the old struct and
pass it to a part of code which is aware of the additional field and wants to
read or write it -> kaboom.

It's not.
... but when did we add a field to request_rec the last time?
