The one problem I have with such a mass version bump is precisely that a build test for Python modules is completely insufficient. Only a runtime test can determine whether the bump is OK or not. As Yegor said, a number of those modules gain new dependencies between one version and another, and those can sometimes only be noticed by doing a runtime test.
