I never really understood why there is a games team; assuming that technically, almost every game is an island. (Ok, legal issues might be similar). This is a very different situation than programming library packaging. With the Haskell packages, regularly do mass-changes and they work well. I can try to dig up some examples from git history, if you are interested.
