after talking some more with greg oster, i've gone with a suggestion from him to not bump the version, since the new field will be zero in all existing labels already, so it can be safely always included for now. the only problem we envision is an old kernel seeing a new large set and cutting it off. i can't think of data loss situations for this, just access errors (which is what i've seen happen.)
