Incorrect STM32F4 svd files?

So I downloaded en.stm32f4_svd which contains the System View Description (SVD) files for the complete range of F4's

Looking at the STM32F429.svd in particular even though I believe they are all incorrect we have the following...

Under the CPU section there seem to be some values at odds with ST's data sheets, and header files

revision is set as r1p0 rather than r0p1

mpuPresent and fpuPresent are set as false when clearly they are present

nvicPrioBits is set to 3 when in should be 4

Am I misunderstanding something or are these values actually wrong or have I downloaded outdated files (v1.2) ?

Here's the link to the download

I recently downloaded these files as they might be useful for one of my projects. I did a little processing to diff 427s with 429s (say) and found some discrepancies in the naming of peripherals, registers and fields, and in their descriptions. These aren't errors as such, but the inconsistencies make me question the value of these files. I had assumed that 429 features are a proper superset of 427 features, but these files look to be independently maintained, which muddies the waters by allowing divergence.
