...this is much more work than 50 lines.  People are going to use this
instead of spending time (and extensive energy) manually checking for
license compat, thus the reviewer[s] sign-off indicates that the matrix
is a trusted shortcut.

I only asked for clarification about the claims you made about DEP5
as well as unpacking it a bit.  If you'd like to make a note of that
somewhere, feel free to.

I don't have time to check the proposed compatibility matrix for
correctness, I haven't checked it, so it's wrong to say that I reviewed
it.

Thanks,
