--- Comment #2 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at igalia.com> ---
Adrian pointed out the side-effect, which is that this would cause random packages to get updated from Debian. That's problematic because it could cause test failures that would blame to particular WebKit revisions that did not introduce those test failures, but were just the first revision to run after the updates were automatically applied.

That can already happen currently, but only when bots are manually updated.

This problem is so rare that I kinda think it would be safer to just deal with it manually when it occurs.
