That's pushing it, I think.  I've had several experiences as a maintainer
where something in an upstream package changed that seemed insignificant to
me, but which broke some other package that depended on mine.  These events
aren't a big deal if everyone is "engaged" and bugs are getting addressed as
they are reported.

Let's stick to the main problem.
