IMHO... Allowing people to > to change technology that they are clueless of is just wrong. I think that's exactly the point ;) We are allowing people who have the knack and inclination to do "boring" cleanups to do them so that _maintainers_ can actually concentrate on _technology_. >From your message one could think that the changes are some massive reworking, but both commits are completely trivial updates of dependencies on package names that have been gone for _years_.
