We had some incompatibility issues with these updates in the very
distant past, but I don't think this would be an issue anymore. The
updates themselves are better and smaller now, and the buildfarm
coverage is quite good. It would be prudent, however, to do a manual
verification of the changes, especially in the distant back branches.
I think there is a slippery slope argument, but I don't think we have
that many new platforms and such all the time. If people start wanting
a new arm variant every six weeks, the we'll have to put a stop to it,
perhaps.
