Hey everyone, dependabot does a good job at handling single artifacts, but it does a bad to no job handling modules of monorepos, see babel -cli, -core, -env, etc. for example.
This typically leads me to moving several submodule dependency update PRs into a single PR, before reviewing, considering updating one part of a dependency without the other often doesn't work out well. See #6878 <https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6878> and #6879 <https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6879> landing in #6877 <https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6877> for such a case. This is just one example, there are more dependencies that fall into this category. I create a PoC of using renovate over dependabot on core available on https://github.com/NotMyFault/jenkins-renovate-poc renovate is very well able to create these kinds of "merged" PRs for submodules of a dependency, see #4 <https://github.com/NotMyFault/jenkins-renovate-poc/pull/4> for example. For the reasons outlined above, I'd like to see renovate to handle dependency updates in core in the future.
