I don't have it on my 'things to check plate'. I could add it, or we
can do it when useful in the same way we upgrade our zope dependencies
- that is when someone wants something, we check the impact and do the
upgrade.

I don't know :) What do you think we should do here? My initial
thought is that staying up to date on YUI has significant benefits for
us.

I think its reasonable to treat problematic dependency changes as
feature cards for the feature queue. Not all important-dependency
changes will be problematic or big enough to need a timeslot reserved
like that.
