Thanks, but I get the impression that _if_ I have `[workspace]`, then merely `/` in `directories:` makes dependabot submit PRs for subprojects.

What I (may) want is keep using workspaces, but not have dependabot submit PRs for subprojects.

(I see now that this is an [open question](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-github-dependabot-now-supports-julia/134997/15), haven’t seen this when I read this PSA last.)
