Yes, exactly so. Switching upstream/downstream links of modules in the
Puppetfile back and forth can be done as often as we need it, with no
issues at all. With "free bonuses" though! Which is, firstly, it would
be easier to estimate upstream-to-downstream sync status by just looking
at the Puppetfile. Secondly, each time one's switching an upstream link
to a downstream, reviewers may treat this as a "tech dept growing
alarm!" and perhaps motivate patch authors to contribute changes
upstream instead (or *faster*) rather than just stashing them
accumulated downstream.
