I've look at D12828 and D123580, and I don't see any way of versioning these 
changes ... may be @ldionne have an idea on how we could do this properly ?

Also, in D124113, @labath mentions that this data formatter uses mostly indices 
to parse and access the various fields of the type data structure (because it 
uses some anonymous structs). This makes it very fragile on our end because our 
data formatter break every time they make a change in the layout ...

@aprantl, I'll update the line your pointed at to the the field identifier 
instead of using changing the index while waiting for a better way to version 
this.
