And their goals are likely different than the package maintainers: the "big tree" should prefer stability in its dependencies, and include new versions only when a particular feature / bugfix is deemed necessary. Note that I don't think we have figured out yet how to handle the "known good working set" problem: not having a handle on that is actually the biggest risk of eggification (really, of the "satellite project" model). Continuous integration (e.g., buildbot testing) against such a working set should be a major goal for us going forward.
