Just recently I've had another case of synchronized update of multiple 
repositories on develop.

https://github.com/boostorg/winapi/pull/20
https://github.com/boostorg/dll/pull/7
https://github.com/boostorg/dll/pull/8

Such situations appear more often than you think.

In general, I want my develop code to be tested against develop of other 
libraries to be able to detect failures before they get released. I 
wouldn't mind to have _additional_ testing against master of all other 
libraries.
