Exactly, so by taking a random git version you run a greater risk of regressions/interface changes breaking projects which depend on the client, so it's essential you re-test every client-consuming project, which doesn't happen as part of the *client gate run (but does indirectly after a release, because client-consuming projects have their gates break).
