Are the jobs smart enough to realize that if a library wasn’t being used in a 
given stable branch, we don’t need to worry about adding requirements? For 
example, most of the libraries weren’t used in Icehouse so we shouldn’t need to 
ensure that new dependencies they add are compatible with the existing icehouse 
dependencies.
