Sorry, I was talking about the minimal versions, i.e. to somehow lift
the "If you want to add a new dependency or want one of the minimum
versions updated, make a good case for it on desktop-devel-list [...]
Be prepared for others to take a few days to test it."

Case in point being the telepathy-glib mail sent earlier on d-d-l, but
the same situation happened in the past with Clutter, for example.
