 We discussed this at the BR developer meeting, and came to the following
conclusions:

- For luajit, it should be considered independently of BCC. For target BCC,
luajit is (or could be made) optional, and anyway it still only for aarch64.

- Also, for luajit, it would be better to switch to
https://github.com/siddhesh/LuaJIT which does have recent releases.

- I wanted to apply the new python packages, but the pytest package has a
release 5.2.2 already; the other two probably also have more recent releases.

 Therefore, I marked the series as Changes Request in patchwork.

 Regards,
 Arnout
