On Altera, "" generates a null-range warning.
When the dpram is used heavily, these warnings add up to many.

The RW ordering on address conflict varies by platform.
Some platforms only support some options.
Most of the dprams in WR are portable and don't depend on the order.
This new option allows a core to specify that it does not care what
the result of a RW conflict is, and thus work on more platforms.

For Xilinx, "dont_care" = "read_first", the old default.
