OK for the former, but why the latter?  In general I think it’s
stylistically better to refer to the ‘inputs’ argument.

Also, what about somehow grouping big-rebuild changes together?  I’m
slightly worried by the post-release chaos that might occur.  :-)
Maybe core-updates, or maybe a more specific branch for
cross-compilation fixes?

(And you found a bug!)

Thanks,
