I think that's exactly the point ;) We are allowing people who have the knack and inclination to do "boring" cleanups to do them so that _maintainers_ can actually concentrate on _technology_. From your message one could think that the changes are some massive reworking, but both commits are completely trivial updates of dependencies on package names that have been gone for _years_. Unless you want to say that the change is somehow wrong, please don't say that "poeple [...] are clueless", because that's disingenuous.
