To avoid duplication. This corresponds to fall-throughs in the switch.

Eventually as suggested by you we would get rid of some of these
duplicate models and let the user (or an alias-like compatibility
mechanism) set the desired revision numbers on one base class via QOM
properties. Then those class_inits would no longer be needed.
