Simply to follow upstream. In this day and age you no longer need to bump PR 
for Bitbake to notice the recipe change and re-build it, as it was required 
before. There are some corner cases, where you have to manually increment it, 
but in most cases Bitbake is smart enough to rebuild the package automatically 
when the recipe changes.

Now, there's a runtime upgrade path issue for when you need to upgrade binary 
packages from one revision to another, when the version doesn't change. But 
that is now handled by PR services, that should be controlled and handled by a 
distro. We can enable local PR service in Arago, but honestly we are not doing 
a real distribution with the proper upgrade path, so it's not so critical and 
not necessary to have a centralized PR server...
