As long as there is no rule (and don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour
of unnecessary bureaucracy) then there's no issue here. As packages
from [extra] depend on those in [community] I wonder whether it would
make sense for TUs and devs to coordinate rebuilds. I understand that
in the case of [core]/[extra] most devs updating a library just simply
trigger a pkgrel update for rebuilding since they have the proper
access rights, but obviously TUs don't for [core]/[extra]. Using
[community-testing] and [testing] for this purpose also comes down to
the same issue as I don't think TUs can move packages from [testing].
