For bleeding up to a week ago, it was 10.

We bump the definition whenever there is need to. There was no need to bump it between eg. the reset() patch and the done() patch because both were merged to bleeding at the same time. When we get set_mask() I will bump it again.

My current plan is to not commit any format struct changes or interface changes to bleeding unless they either come from core CVS or from Solar (or, of course, if they are endorsed by him). So I hope Solar will join such discussions.
