Nicholas Fagerlund commented on PUP-917   Re: Identify why a cached catalog was used Kylo Ginsberg Bump the report format. No way should we consider leaving this as version 4. If you receive a report object, you need some way to know what features are safe to use. If a given "version" is actually like three or four versions throughout its lifespan, the number becomes useless, and you'll have to do a bunch of defensive coding anyway. Sure, if the changes are all non-breaking, it's safe to rely on the lowest common denominator, but any new features are unsafe to use until the version bumps. So if you want to add a feature and have it actually be usable, bump it. FYI, that's also our existing precedent: I just checked the docs, and report format 4 is supposed to be backwards-compatible with format 3. (If we ignore PUP-5341.)
