How does your team handle major dependency upgrades?

Former CTO here. At my last company we skipped 7 Expo versions at once because nobody had time for the incremental path. A CTO I talked to spent 2 months moving MUI v3 to v7.

Curious how others deal with it:

  • Do Dependabot/Renovate major PRs get merged, or do they pile up?
  • What was your last painful upgrade, and how long did it take?
  • Does anyone own this work, or is it "when we have time"?
