Well, it's not /entirely/ contrived. I mean, Janek wants us to
use fontforge 20110222 or higher; I want to say "no way until
lilydev has that version of fontforged installed". And if we ever
did push such a change without lilydev being updated, I certainly
wouldn't want to make a new stable release before fixing that!
We haven't had many build-dependency updates in the past few
years, but before that we used to require really cutting-edge
libraries. I'm not opposed to requiring new libraries, and I
don't care if it's something that no linux distro includes -- as
long as we have a customized, downloadable, lilydev iso image
available.
(I could argue that anything less would be a "regression", i.e. "I
used to be able to contribute to development, but because of
changes to git master I can no longer do so". However, I'd rather
make this particular case of "regression" explicit.)
