If they want me to debug their issues, sure. Selective updates are not
supportable. They shouldn't be necessary anyway, as our updates, even
version upgrades, are supposed to Just Work. Excluding something is just a
workaround for some bug, and not upgrading most stuff is just bad
altogether. And if I work hard on pushing bugfix updates, that's not so
people run the unfixed stuff and so I can spend my time trying to debug an
issue that's already fixed! Sorry.
