This sounds like a problem with the way the DTSs have been written - I'd
expect the thing to do here is just to move the property to the rev A
DTS when rev B is created.  Why is that not the way forward?

Otherwise this is an issue which affects any boolean property in the DT
so if it's something we need to fix we should be fixing it in a generic
fashion that will work for other properties too.
