I was thinking why it was that we didn't think to contact the package maintainers. I guess the reason is because we didn't want them to do anything. Now that you point it out of course it's obvious that we should have contacted them all and said explicitly that there is nothing that we want them to do. To say that we've picked released versions of their packages and that they will be able to get updates into the next minor and major releases (for bug fixes and features/changes respectively). That would have avoided giving the false hope that it was still possible to get changes in. Something for us to learn for next time.
