Independent of this specific case, I don't think expecting sysadmin (ie 
practically just Ben as far as CI is concerned) to deal with dependency 
updates on the CI is going to scale, we need to see that as our all 
responsibility. And since the move away from Jenkins a lot of that work can be 
done without special sysadmin powers:
* Figure out if upstream has the new version already, and if not figure out 
what's blocking that (and outside of Linux/FreeBSD upstream is also us, via 
Craft).
* Submit MRs for the CI pieces that need updating (container images, Gitlab 
template).
* And probably most importantly: help with dealing with the potential fallout 
form the updates.
