As suggested, later PMS features (eg. (+) / (-), ...) and PM features |
| 14 |
(eg. binpkgs, ...) can change that; so, a policy adaption or a clearly |
| 15 |
described workflow may at some point be necessary to stay actual. |

To deal with that one needs a clear workflow; given that it replaces an |
| 22 |
automatic feature or hack without much rebuilds, by something that |
| 23 |
needs you to decide whether or not to rev bump and cause more rebuilds. |
