I don't understand the move to v2 for an empty skeleton UAPI. For the
purposes of bisection, couldn't you just remove all the v1 UAPI (w/o
bumping to v2) and then add a new UAPI in the next patch?

In this case, just to avoid any confusion, the new UAPI could be v2
making the transition clear in case of bisection.

I'm afraid the v1->v2->v1 is a bit more confusing.
