Well, yes, duh. That is exactly their job description. Well, that and fixing
technical issues.

But of course, checking each new optional new feature and decide to enable
or disable, that is what a maintainer is supposed to do.

Otherwise, how would the users benefit from the new features?

You can assume they have automated tools to detect dependency changes. Or
more generally, you can assume they are proficient at what they do.
