To avoid breaking dependency resolution on users' systems, you have to make a new revision whenever you change a metadata variable that the package manager uses: DEPEND, RDEPEND, BDEPEND, IUSE, LICENSE, PYTHON_COMPAT, etc. Basically, unless your change is completely trivial (updated comment, typo fix...), you should be making a new revision by default.
