This has been a lively thread, and the summit session was similarly animated. I'm glad to see so much interest in managing our dependencies! As we discussed at the summit, my primary objective with dependency management this cycle is actually to spin it out into its own team, like we did with stable management over the last year. We discussed several things that team might undertake, including reviewing all of our existing dependencies to ensure they are all still actually needed; reviewing any overlap between dependencies to try to remove items from the list; and implementing some of the other changes we discussed such as allowing overlapping ranges between the global and per-project lists. We had no volunteers to serve as PTL of that new team, but we did have several volunteers offer to help with reviewing requirements changes and implementation of some of the changes mentioned above. Thanks you! Please continue with the reviews, and we will take another look at establishing a separate team somewhere around the middle of the cycle.
