12.1.  The 12.0 release was the biggest release we've had in a long
time and it seems odd to me to jump to 13.0 right away when we really
haven't done much at all in terms of new features. (I think it's only
2 or 3 desktop features in the case of Intel.  A bit more on the ES
side I guess).

My understanding is the major version has only ever been bumped when
full support for a new desktop OpenGL version has been reached
regardless of the number of extensions enabled. We did the same thing
going from 8.0 > 9.0 were as the 7 release went all the way to 7.11
over a 4 year period. It seems odd to change the way we bump versions
at this point in time, although in future maybe it will need to be
based on Vulkin versions also.
