For example, most of the libraries weren’t used in Icehouse so we shouldn’t need to ensure that new dependencies they add are compatible with the existing icehouse dependencies.

If the library isn't being used on a branch then nothing on that branch will
break when a requirement is added, because nothing is trying to install the
library with the new requirement. But thinking about this, I just realized that
the stable-compat job template I added to all the libs doesn't discriminate
between icehouse and juno so you'll be running extra jobs for no reason on those
libraries which weren't used in icehouse. A good follow-up patch would probably
be to stop using the template on those and just manually add the juno jobs to
those libraries. (or make a separate template for just juno and use that
instead)
