I'm fine with this, but I'd like to keep my request to have the "simple
bumps" grouped together in certain commits, but as soon as the bump is
not just a mechanical one, it should be a separate patch. I.e for
example:

	kodi-screensaver-*: mechanical bumps
	kodi-screensaver-baz: bump version

I think Bernd's intention was just to announce that he was going to
post all the patches as soon as Kodi 16 was out, but he wants to wait
for that release to happen before posting 100 patches on the list.

But by grouping package bumps a little bit, the size of the series
would be a lot shorter, and it would therefore be a bit more acceptable
to post such an RFC series on the list.

Best regards,

Thomas
