This is the killer.  When Niels presented his plan, I didn't realise that 
anything other than Qt apps would be significantly affected.

There has to be an absolute rule for SDK updates: if libhildon version 
dependencies are being increased, the release **has** to be given a new 
codename and a separate builder queue and all repositories.  We can discuss 
how long the older version autobuilder is still supported, and we can discuss 
populating the new repositories from the existing ones, but there should be 
no question of using the updated SDK in the existing autobuilder and 
repository.

And once Qt apps start shipping to Extras (i.e. for any future releases) this 
has to apply to Qt as well!  And, of course, other libraries that most apps 
use (glib, etc.).
