   > The benefit of using `0.12` instead of `0.12.2` is that it allows users to 
continue using `0.12.1` without forcing them to upgrade to the latest version.
   
   DataFusion needs to use prost version matching arrow-flight, or there can be

   Can the semver always be trusted, i.e. should different patch versions be 
_assumed_ to be always compatible?
   
   Secondly, if we defer the patch version update here to give downstream 
projects more freedom, when do we do it? "Never" sounds like a wrong answer, so 
what would the rule be?
