Just because it is near does not mean it is a revision of the other
board. Just compare
http://www.taskit.de/en/products/portuxg20/index.htm
http://www.taskit.de/en/products/stamp9g20/starterkit.htm

Apart from that, both boards are correctly identifiable via the machine
id for a year, respectively one and a half year for the Stamp9G20 EVB.
Why change it for sake of change?

They both have there own machine id to make it clear that these are
really different boards. I could have also submitted two board files
and maybe nobody would have noticed that share a lot, but I thought code
reuse is better so there are in the same file.

And for different carrier boards, system_rev does not make sense at all.
