Yes, that's a good idea. However, it means that the introduction of the |
| 11 |
first sub-slot will trigger a rebuild of the dependent package. So, it's |
| 12 |
a good idea to introduce the first sub-slot during a version bump where |
| 13 |
something has changed that justifies a sub-slot bump. |
