Debian have policies that limit the type of changes entering a
stable point release, and it is my opinion that we can assume
that a new point release doesn't break anything (to the level of
insanity --- this is SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS we are talking about
here), and then react to this not being the case instead of the
other way around.
It's quite unfortunate that we have to update it ~every other
month. These changes are usually not backported to the stable
branch of poky, and as such, people using it will have warnings
about using a non-supported host distribution, even though this
isn't the case.
