Regardless whether the user had the atlas or accelerate or openblas variant of octupus 5.0.1_0 installed, they will have exactly the same variant of octopus 5.0.1_1 installed after the upgrade. Increasing the revision only causes lots of unnecessary rebuilding, for the buildbots and for users.<br>

</span>I should correct myself, and say it causes unnecessary rebuilding or downloading and reinstalling for users. The buildbots will have to rebuild regardless whether the revision is changed, because the variants are changed, but that's fine.<br>
