What happened to pinned sync.profile %dependencies? That seems like a 
much smoother workflow:

  1. pin qtbase sha in dependent module
  2. update qtbase, changing method in one go
  3. update dependent module to use new api, along with an unpin qtbase sha

This doesn't split the logical change in qtbase into two just to keep 
the world building.
