And, one more minor wording quibble, while "possibility" is not exactly
wrong in this context, it's a bit more typical in US English to say
"chances" here.
Taking them into account reduces the burden of integrating your
changes into the normal package workflow and thus increases the
chances that integration will happen.
There's a subtle connotation difference. Chances is a pure statement
about probability and likelihood, while possibility implies some question
of whether the integration can actually be performed or whether it may be
impossible.
