Really? I'd be impressed if lint fails without v312.pre (by default, only
comments are in there).

Not exactly: v310.pre is the pre file that deals with the plugins from 3.1.0.
v312.pre is the pre file that deals with the plugins from 3.1.2.
There's nothing special about them, they're all just .pre files.
The reason there's multiple versions is because when people go and modify
the .pre file to enable/disable plugins, a new upgrade with a different
pre file (new plugins/etc) is either going to have to 1) overwrite the
pre file obliterating any local changes (bad), or 2) leave the current file
and thereby not having entries for the new plugins (bad). So anytime there's
new plugins, we add them to v###.pre, and then 1 and 2 are avoided. :)
