Currently, changes with the `bazel` scope are guarded by the
merge tool target label checks. i.e. feature commits with
the `bazel` scope cannot land in the patch branch. This is
expected for all public packages, but given the `bazel`
package being used internal-only, it should be possible
to land these in a patch branch. Especially since we want
tooling to be in sync between version branches as much
as possible.
