You have to land changes a week in advance for the Dependency Builds to
pick them up on their normal cadence.
Depending on timing you may be able to land them earlier, but there is no
guarantee as the builds are run on a staggered basis by Jenkins.

That brings the disruption caused by this to 6 Dependency Builds (two for
Frameworks, four for Plasma)

Please note you also have to arrange for a release of
plasma-wayland-protocols as that is part of Extragear.
This needs to be done before the next Frameworks release.
