Hey Martin,

I'm not sure I understand the issue with these tools have dependencies on other
packages and the relationship to SIG ownership. Is your concern (or the history
of a concern you are pointing out) that the tools would have a more difficult
time if they required updates to dependencies if they are owned by a different
group?

Thanks!
Sean
