Agreed we shouldn't auto update the buildroot.
Crazy thought:
Lazy chain. I personally am one of the people that needs to do multiple
builds at a time with the Firefox set of updates. I do not like the
idea of being forced to specify all the builds at one time, one bit.
There are many cases where I wait to see the results of a build before
pushing another build because it might alter what goes into that build.
The ability to do make build ADD_TO_BR=firefox-x.y-z or similar as
something I need to add to dependent packages is much more appealing
than having to specify everything at once.
