All that's required for that, IMO, is for the new di-utils to propagate
to testing before any dependent changes are made elsewhere. (Though
versioned dependencies are a useful record, and don't have a huge cost;
unlikely to consume more than a kilobyte uncompressed, I'd expect, which
seems well worth it for their mnemonic value.)
