It's too complicated, human-dependent, and time-consuming to build
interdependent package updates in stable releases.
Two cases:
* gstreamer and gstreamer-plugins-base are released at the same time, and
so are pre-releases of those. They soft-depend on each other (gstreamer
can be updated on its own). It's currently not possible for me to offer
both pre-releases of gstreamer and gsteamer-plugins-base without either:
1. asking for a package to be tagged into the build roots
2. pushing gstreamer into stable (takes a few days at best), and push the
gstreamer-plugins-base package separately
* gnome-bluetooth and gnome-phone-manager, where I need to ask for gnome-
bluetooth to be pushed into the buildroot tree. Sometimes that just
doesn't work (as could have been seen in
