And I forgot:
Every change in one of the submodules requires touching the containing
repo as well (to update the submodule's version-info.

So to "test every patch" you cannot just use the containing repo. If
people check in stuff to one of the submodule but don't update the
containing repo accordingly, you won't see the change on your
buildmachine..
