I think the nature of releases could affect how we take the recipes
in. In this case if it seems busybox has major release like 1.18
and then spins out bugfix releases on top of it. So we might consider
having one recipe for 1.18 and then patch it on top as needed
and similarly moving forward for 1.19

unless they have feature introduction in minor releases this will be a
good solution IMO
