Everybody is free (and welcomed) to create PR's for every package in
oi-userland.
You should at least test it in your environment and write about how you
tested it in the PR's.
You should also check whether other packages are effected by an upgrade
and provide one or more helper PR's with rebuilds if needed.
Note that we cannot have upgrades and rebuilds of effected packages in
the same PR because that's how our build server works.
An update is not available before the build and deployment succeeded.
Thus, we need separate PR's for the upgrade of one package and a second
PR for its dependent packages.
