Yeah, I hadn't realized it was until I was going through the pile of recent
upstream commits. Check out 788cfce911793a26aed16f38f30678ecee82c873 from
Michel:

"Bump video driver ABI version to 1.2.
    
This is necessary because server-1.2-branch bumped to 1.1 for xf86CVTMode and
we have xf86XVFillKeyHelperDrawable on top of that."

So the ABI did get a bump, and so we should make sure we're coupling the
drivers to the server tightly just in case. It shouldn't be too big of a
deal, we just have to make sure that the upload of the server and the
drivers to unstable is coordinated.
